The Skype Hype
If you’ve heard the rumors, they are all true! I finally had a chance to try Skype today, recommended by my Puerto Rican mother, whom I only get to see a couple of times a year given the secret island tabu water lockdown (thank you, Brady Bunch). It was amazing! I was instantly transported to her beach front condo and we chatted for 40 minute – for free! Take that, Verizon!
Impressed by the product’s capabilities, I sought more information on the company. FYI, based in Luxembourg, Skype was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis. The boys created this little piece of software that enables communication with people around the world; and if both of you are on Skype, it’s free – yay!
I had so much fun with Skype this morning, I had to take a picture of my mom making funny faces to make me laugh. She will definitely attempt murder once she realizes the pic has been posted, but in the meantime, enjoy! Love ya, Mom!
