Skype Me?

You probably have heard of Skype, and you may even use it. As for me, between Vonage and Verizon, I don't have a lot of gaps in my needs for telephonic communication, but if I had friends or family outside the U.S., I would be all over Skype.

One of the most surprising discoveries in my nascent podcasting adventure is how many podcasters encourage their listeners to skype them. See here and here for examples that I saw today. Mind boggling. I am fine with deleting emails, but getting calls ... that is more "out there" than I am willing to go.

Skype me? No, but thanks.
