Skype it baby...

I love skype! I signed up for it a few years ago and then never really tried it. Well I was reacquainted with it not long ago when my little sis and her fam moved to Cali (sniff, sniff) So to keep in touch better and to allow the kids to stay close with their only cousin we fired up the Skype.
It rocks! Now most of our family is on and we get to see and talk with them as much as we wish. (although I think my sister was getting a little annoyed when I would Skype them right before bed-hehehe)
So wether you're far or close to the people you want to see and talk to this is great. It's free and easy to download-they even have an ap for the iphone (although currently you can only talk, not video chat when you have a wi-fi connection, but with the iphone 4 I'm hoping you'll be able to do more) It works on both Mac & PC, you just need internet-duh-and a webcam, which most computers/laptops come with now days.
Get connected search for your friends and family and get Skyping today.

One quick funny story about Skype before you go...My little bro and his girlfriend have started using Skype to stay connected, the funny thing is they haven't figured out how to get the computer volume turned up so they are Skyping while they talk on their phones-almost defeats the purpose :)
