Was just wondering who else uses Skype. I know a lot of people still use MSN/AIM/YIM but Skype is a whole lot better, plus you can actually call people if you want.

Yeah sort of, you can use it just for instant messages if you want though. Chatrooms are easy to set up and you can also have conference chats.

It works just like MSN but you also have the ability to make free phone calls. Oh and its free.

Works nothing like MSN. MSN is convo from one machine to another.

Skype is the same way Torrents work... if you're logged in and not even chatting to anyone; the damn software is caining your bandwidth transmitting other peoples video feeds and acting as nodes.

I only get crappy 3mb broadband in my house and it was running as slow as anything for a whole month. Then I got a letter from BT saying we'd used 100GB in one month... turns out my new flatmate had left her laptop on 24 hours a day and logged into Skype.

I meant you can talk in chat like MSN, but you can also use it as a phone. I dont think GDU wanted the breakdown of how its hosted, just if its easy to use.....
