This post could well be titled "The Land Between Midnight, Skype and Down Under."
It wasn't long after I sent my "I haven't got a clue about how to use Skype" post that I received a call from Teddy Towncrier. Not only that, I soon learned that he had conferenced in both Lindy Asimus and Alexandra Popovic so there were four of us on the phone, ur, excuse me, online.
It truly was amazing! Of course I had heard of Skype - Lamar Morgan has always been a big advocate, but I had always resisted it because it seemed like one more piece of software to download and to deal with. I was also thinking I have a cell phone with unlimited minutes so who needs Skype?
Well, last night in the early morning hours proved why.
It was absolutely thrilling to be able to speak live to people I had been communicating with via social media (Teddy and Lindy) and to establish a connection with someone new (Alex, as she is fondly called). Plus, with Skype, you have the added bonus of being able to use the chat feature to send information as well.
This girl from Brooklyn now living in Richmond,VA (who had penpals in India, England and Japan, no less) couldn't get over how she was now talking to someone live in Canada AND Australia at 1 a.m. in the morning who were actually in the midst of THEIR day.
Beyond that, being on the phone with Teddy, Lindy and Alex underscored that this is what social networking is all about. Writing posts, Tweets and so on and then making REAL connections! Skype makes it so much easier to do so without getting caught up in rounds and rounds of emails and posts. It allows for great spontaneity to your online experience because instead of waiting to call someone you can simply Skype them. I definitely get the vision of how to use Skype in business and thank you Teddy for being the Towncrier that you are and setting up the conference call last night!
P.S. prior to the Skype experience, my brother told me about voice capability through Yahoo IM. That was another unique experience last night, being able to talk to my brother through the computer versus the landline. But it wasn't nearly as unique as talking to the "wide awake" Aussies and Teddy in the wee hours :))))
Oh, by the way my Skype ID is paula.quick1, Yahoo is Press23233
