To get started, download Skype for your OS from the office website and run the installer. One thing to note is it asks you whether you want to install Skype Click to Call addon or not. With Skype Click to Call, users can call numbers present on websites directly from their browser. If you don’t want to install, simply uncheck this option and follow on screen instructions.
Skype has a clean and user friendly interface showing contacts in sidebar with personal chats on the other side.
A handy feature in the latest version of Skype is that you can connect and manage your Facebook account as well. Click on Facebook logo in left sidebar and click on connect with Facebook button and log in with your credentials.
It will ask you to give access to the application to access your timeline and other information. Click on Allow button.
You can update your status, check posts on Facebook, comment on your friend’s post and more.
You can even chat with online Facebook friends at any time. If you want to disconnect your Facebook account from Skype, click on the settings icon and disconnect your Facebook account.
Skype is also available on all popular mobile operating systems including iOS, Android, WP7 and Symbian. Download Skype from official website or it’s also available to install with our favorite free service Ninite— under the Documents section.
…suddenly using the Skype number is inserted in the Google Voice number’s place. That’s wrong, and a classic example of Microsoft’s arrogance. Anyone who insists that all apps “play nice” on their devices will hold Microsoft accountable over something like this… …and will, therefore, not use Skype until and unless Microsoft finally stops it. Until then, I use Tango… …and, believe me, I’m not wild about those guys, either; but at least their apps play nice on all devices. Something to think about. __________________________ Gregg L.
