So I'm doing a podcast about Skype and ive jotted down a list of things that make Skype different that other messaging programs. so far:
1. Free Skype to Skype phone/video calls, calls cell phones and landlines and vice versa (with subscription) and has handsets compatible with Skype. Sends Text IMs text messages to phones, group chat and phone/video conferences.
a. AIM - annoying pop up ads and run arounds, declining popularity
b. iChat- Mac only
c. Google Talk- internet voice chat only
d. ICQ- Has a community and chat rooms but who uses it?
e. Vonage- Required monthly fee that costs more, have to buy equipment to use home phone
2. Online Voicemail (with subscription)
3. Available on PSP, iPhone, smart phones
4. Screen sharing- show what’s on your screen to other users
