Skype

[TRN]

My sister sent me the link the other night. Scoble has discussed this on his weblog. And my interest finally peeked tonight when I started wondering whether any linux software is going to be able to have similar features.

The first night we used it the quality wasn't as good as with other voice apps. We tried with different computers and ISP connections combos too. Skype said there were 8000 people on at the same time though, so something must have been good about it, right?

I've used it a number of times since then and have not seen the same problems as that first night. Nice, clear quality. UI is a little clunky, but fairly easy to use.
