Tried out Skype-to-Skype for the first time last night with my good friend Baby Bay. I've used Skype a couple of times before to call friends on their mobiles, but have never used it for Skype-to-Skype calls since my friends abroad and I usually find it hard to be in front of the computer at the same time (hehe, blame the time zone diff plus semi-active social lives). But last night, by some stroke of luck, Baby Bay and I found ourselves logged on to Skype at the same time. And so she called me, and the rest, they say, is.... a 5-hour FREE conversation over internet protocol (sorry, my job entails me to refer to this technology in the real scientific term.. I can't seem to shake it...)
I loved it! I loved how, since my macbook has built in microphone and speakers, I could just lounge around, fix stuff around my room and even put on moisturizer and brush my hair while talking to my friend. It's the coolest! Technology really makes distance disappear and can even enable you to stay closer to someone abroad than someone in the same town/city/country as you. We're really a global village and with things like Skype, a difference in location is just that, a difference in location. There's no excuse not to stay in touch now :)
