Well I've had Skype
http://www.skype.com/ installed for about two weeks. So far none of my friends or family has been smart enough to download it so we can talk. I decided to check out the skypecasts and public chats only to be disappointed. Half the casts aren't in English and most of the topics look shady and not one on cats or pets. That's when I went to TCS knowing there are a lot of Uk members there and was pleasantly surprised! They have done some skypecasts and are planning more. Now I'm wondering if any of you use Skype or would want to get together for live casts/chats or join the TCS one.
