Skype is a peer-to-peer Voice Over IP network developed by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, the same guys that made the file sharing application Kazaa. Currently, Skype is the most popular Internet voice communication service in the world with more than 75 million people using the software. Skype is a software that enables users worldwide to communicate with each other just by using a computer connected to the Internet. As long as both sides have installed the software, the service is free. The software is currently available free of charge and can be downloaded from the company website at http://www.freesecuredownloads.com/skype/. It is available for Windows, MAC OS X and Linux. The system requirements are not much - Internet connection, speakers and microphone, at least 400 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM and 15 MB free disk space on your hard drive.
There are a lot of benefits associated with the use of Skype. First of all, it is really simple to use. You don’t need to be some kind of a hacker to make the most of it. The next great thing about it is that it lets you reach out across continents, borders, countries, and time zones to make crystal-clear voice calls, send instant messages, transfer digital files, and make video calls almost anywhere in the world for free. You can also call people on their ordinary phones and cell phones for a fraction of the cost of a traditional call.
