SKYPE chat and conference calls

Well now that some of us are chatting up a storm, this forum format is way too slow and hard to use, so we ought to give SKYPE a good workout. I have great success with it in my business, both for calls around the world that sound like they're just next door, and online realtime chats.

First you need to go to the SKYPE website to download the free software.

Their (written) chats are very easy to use, and I've only done them with one at a time, but I imagine we can group chat, or speak.

Then please be sure to use a headset when you are speaking, to eliminate echo and make it clearer for everyone. I'll post the conferencing instructions in this spot another day.

Please be sure that your SKYPE name is in your profile, and make your preferences clear about being contacted. Some of us have to do some other things, every once in a while, although as this Portal grows, it's hard to imagine there is anyplace else to be!

I think this is an excellent idea....

We have done something similar on another site which connected 9 people across 3 continents so I know it works!!

We had a plan of trying to spread the call...ie. the nine involved in the first call split and find participants for their own call, they meet a few times and then in turn split and create their own groups again...thus self replicating and linking many people in a relatively short period of time....

Would love to know how your call went??
