Thing #6

Hello everyone :)

For thing number 6, I viewed the Web 2.0 cite for something that caught my eye.  I chose the number one online communicator, Skype.  I have Skype on my computer and it's very interesting. Skype is text, voice, and video chatting all on the Internet. I think this was a very wise tool to invent especially for those long distance relationships, army wives or husbands, or long distance relatives.  Skype makes things ten times easier to talk to these people.  You can be just about anywhere to use Skype as long as their is a Wi-Fi connection. When I first added Skpe to my lap top I was so anxious to use it I video chatted my sister, who was in the next room! Before my fiance moved to Clarksville, he lived about an hour away so I didn't have alot of time to see him due to school and work.  Instead of just using our cell phones to talk, we would use Skype.  In my opinion this kept our relationship strong!  It was so nice to not only talk to him but to see his face as well.  Skype today is a very popular tool and it's growing as we speak. Now even cell phones that have Wi-Fi connection can download Skype and video chat through your phone...CRAZY! If you have one of these long distance relationships or family, soldiers to talk to, or even just want to talk to your sister in the next room I would really recommend Skype :)

Talk to everyone again soon!
