Give and You Shall Get?
Yesterday I was made aware of what appears to be a very nice free service - something called Skype.
Essentially, their blurb says that you can speak to anyone just about anywhere in the world for free through their computer telephone network.
No charge, no catch. Computer to computer. (Computer to phone = small charge.)
How? Why? And how is self help involved?
Well, the buzz is probably going to rival the ancient Hotmail plague, but they do insist their service will always be free.
And maybe it's not so crazy. It's just a modern incarnation of the free-to-air radio and television, newspapers ... even Hotmail.
Advertising will even support a Superbowl!
Help your self by first helping others. Still seems to work!
