I’m heavily reliant on Skype, whether I’m staying in touch with family or going over a project’s details with a client. I love the fact that Skype is free, but I’m willing to admit that using Skype can be much easier with the right gear. I wrote an article recently for Matador Goods, sorting through some of the best Skype gear.
I rely heavily on Skype for my work. Interviews, editorial meetings, leaving messages — I’ve used Skype for all of it. I really got used to Skype when I was living in Dublin. I was able to get both of my parents comfortable with it before I left and could easily chat with them without running up their phone bills.
But Skype has become a far more important part of my work than just that. Right now, I’m working on projects that involve people in twenty different states and a dozen different countries. The phone bill I could run up calling all of those folks truly scares me!
