Things at Work: Part 2 - Cost Cuts

Skype has been the talk point @ work today. The idea is to cut the telephone costs between the team members, the calls that are made through Company mobiles.All of us in the team have been asked to have our Skype account by our manager. Should say its working good. Since voice chat through YM or other messengers have been blocked @ work, this would prove useful to many of us. The voice clarity is good and interface is also OK. Try it out yourself and you might as well like it.Discussion went around today in the team as to how they can block YM voice chat and why they wont be able to block Skype and yeah one of my team mate was having a voice chat with another team mate of mine at Kansas for about 1 1/2 hours and both were enjoying it much, should say.

To H: Thought we would do our Wing Voice Conference through Skype, but only 4 people + host can do a voice conference through Skype. May be some other Internet Telephony system can be of use to us. As such, Yahoo is blocked for some of our wingies, so we might try switching to something like Skype. Am not sure whether stuff like Skype might be blocked somewhere else as well.

Anyway, the conference as such isn't happening for some time now, may be someone should bring the initial enthu back first before thinking of stuff like these....
