SKYPE 2.5 (beta)
We first talked about Skype, the software program by which you can make free phone calls most anywhere in the world, last September in Talk Is Cheap.
Last week Skype marked quite a milestone: 100,000,000 registered users. That's just the number of downloads, though-there aren't necessarily that many regular users.
Still, at any moment, several million people in the world are online using Skype whether for free Skype-to-Skype voice calls, instant messaging chat, video calls, or to take advantage of the premium services that actually earn Skype its money. That's impressive by any measure.
As of May 3, 2006, there's a new and modestly improved version of Skype available for download.
