Skype

Though I usually don't write about technology (I don't know why I am totally into it...), I have to write about Skype. I have been using it for a few months now to talk to family and friends, near and far, and but for a few gliches and some moments of lower quality, Skype has been AMAZING!!!
The notion that you can download a piece of software that was designed by some real geniuses and then talk to people around the world for free...Well that's not new...but the efficiency and the UI are excellent...but most importantly the quality of the sound. Impeccable, glorious, fantastic and every superlative I can think of. It's way better than a phone, even better than local call quality (like someone standing right next to you in the room and talking into your speakers ). Since I downloaded it and had my family and friends download (I am a classic example of the perfect viral marketing participant...) I have not made one single long distance call.
The total annihalation of the telecom industry as we know it is on it's way. If you don't believe me, ask Michael Powell , Chairman of the FCC.

Skype is happening and it's happening big!
So
