MSN's all very well, but there's nothing like an amusing voice convo for getting to know people. It's free, it's funny, and all you need is a cheap five-buck mic.

I'm backgroundbob (oddly enough) or Robert Rae if anyone feels like a chat. If you feel so inclined, post away, and we'll get YWS miked up.

I was wondering what skype was... Hehe, you've got it as your personal message on MSN. ;)

Skype is basically an internet telephone service - allows you to have easy voice conversations with anyone else on the internet, all you need is a microphone. Download is free, and it's really easy to use, so you ought to check it out. :)

Yahoo Messenger Beta does the same thing, pretty cool stuff.

Lama, on Gal's fancy new compy.

Except yahoo messenger blasts you with ads you don't want.

Google, I believe has something like that already... if not, then they're working on it, I'm sure.
Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength.

Yeh, Google has it too. And AOL has AIM Talk or something like that.

Yeah, but Skype's much more nifty and easy to use :) not to mention it's pretty simple to set up calls with more than two people. Those are fun for forum meetings, we've done a couple of those...
