I tried it out before. I need to get a mic and load it up at home. After using it for awhile it seems you have to reconnect becuase it starts to brewak up. But once you restart Skype it is fine again.

I've tried it, but I don't think it's very good. Yahoo messenger has a better voice chat option, and I have more use for that. Skype always had the tendency to 'pause' too often.

I've never even heard of it.

I've never even heard of it.

Now you have and knowing is half the battle.

In this case the other half is downloading it and trying it out.

I need a PC headset to use it.
Dan has it he says it is great.
I know a few other people who say it is great.
None said anything about having any sorts of problems with it... to me at least.

Ive used it, but they limit the connecitons to 4 in a chat plus the host.  There are better services out there that allow 8 for free, and then some that you can buy that allow as many as your connection can handle.  I got s headset for half life 2, but I havn't been using it much.  Skype is a well made program, but it would be much better if it could handle more than 5 people.

Haven't hear of it before today either.  Maybe I'll give it a whirl tonight or tomorrow when I am super bored.  I haven't tried Yahoo messenger's voice chat in a LONG time, and even then I only ever used it in chat rooms and not with individual people.  I have used their video cam option though, and that works fairly well and easily.
