Skype’s the limit: Microsoft buys the popular service

I’m a Skype fan, ever since I got it at work and have been able to instant message Frank at his office. Sometimes we use the webcams, but it’s great for IM without the video. No need to log into Yahoo or Google or any of that. Just Skype to Skype. I’m also going to be using it for interviews here at lgbtSr, now that I have a software called Vodburner that records video calls on Skype. It rocks. Here’s hoping Microsoft doesn’t find a way to ruin in now that they’re buying it for $8.5 billion. The last thing we need is more Microsoft tentacles in our lives. If it works, don’t fix it, and really don’t screw it up.]]>
