Skype
is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like
KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other
users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your
friends. The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to
use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!


Skype
was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis. Skype created a
little piece of software that makes communicating with people around
the world easy and fun. With Skype you can say hello or share a laugh
with anyone, anywhere. And it’s free. Skype is available in 28 languages
and is used in almost every country around the world. Skype generates
revenue through its premium offerings such as making and receiving calls
to and from landline and mobile phones, as well as voicemail and call
forwarding. Skype, based in Luxembourg, has relationships with a growing
network of hardware and software providers and is an eBay company.
