I felt like kicking text messaging in the garbage can, it&#8217;s old fashion and takes too much of my energy. <\/p>\n<p>Using Skype is easy as 123: subscribe, get the nick of the person you wanna have a chat with, ring his\/her bell and you&#8217;r in bizness. The sound quality is really good, even using a mac and my bro a pc, and the usual &#8216;you talk first and i talk then &#8216;caus we can&#8217;t talk at the same time&#8217; of old audio conference software has finally disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Audio conferencing&#8217; is way different from a normal phone talk &#8211; it&#8217;s more something like the person you are talking to would be sitting right next to you: you can chit chat, then stop for a while, chat again as you want. <\/p>\n<p>As i chatted with my bro, i surfed the web, we exchanged urls via the IM function and we exchanged files &#8211; way easy way cool.<\/p>\n<p>At last, it seems like from skype, you can call anyone on a phone-line at a really cheap rate.
