Digital Life: Video Chatting – The Easiest Way to Connect with People Around the World
Do some of your closest friends live far, far away? You probably connect through email or Facebook status updates, perhaps the odd telephone marathon over a glass of wine. Wouldn’t it be better to connect face-to-face?
Other than flying across the country for an in-person hug, nothing beats video chatting for closing the distance. If you’re not on the same email provider, it’s not going to work. A simple solution? Skype!
Skype has a free basic service that allows you and any other “Skype” user to chat and instant message no matter where in the world you both live. It’s the perfect way to catch-up with old friends, or even give the grandparents a glimpse of the missing tooth.
For a small charge you can even group chat, call mobile and land lines, and if you download the free cell phone app, you can call anywhere in the world for a fraction of cost of traditional long distance.
