I use google talk
I use Skype to three-way conversations with friends in NY and Germany during online gaming, and it is usually clear and troublefree, with no time delay.
been using skype for 1.5+ yrs. i use it ~2 hrs week for international skype-to-skype calls; haven't used skype out yet.
it's great.
it's great.
Ebay is buying Skype so I am looking in to it for answering questions about items I am buying and selling on Ebay and I think it may come in handy for my Amp and CCU repair customers to contact me. Also I can see using it to talk to other prime members. How well does it work with speakers or should I get head phones?

How would that work on my PC, do I need a receiver?
i guess i just dont understand what the difference is between this any any other voice chat client thats been around for years.
Skype was founded by the people who created Kazaa. I've used it for international conferencing between our asia office and east coast/west coast domestic offices. Of all the free (that's the key word) internet conferencing programs out there on the web, IMO, Skype is the best. :wink:

Spelling mistake on my part Eurche should have been Euchre. It is a card game played between two sets of people, four total. If you were able to know what your partner has in his hand, winning would almost be a guarantee.
So if you could be on the phone with your partner....
Skype is banned in China. Just announced last week. I only use it to talk to my friend in Japan, and it's usually very clear. We usually talk late at night though.
Ah, I understand now. Well, we usually play as a team in Warcraft matches, which gives us an advantage because we can discuss our strategies as we play. However, I imagine that many of the other gamers on there use a similar technology as well. :smile:steveny said:

You can buy a PC headset. It will have two jacks, one for the mic and one for the audio. Any game store will have them.
haha...that reminds me. When I worked at Sony in the IT department I was at this one engineers cubicle and he's all my damn sound card on my notebook hasn't worked for the last 2 years. I ask what does it do and he said it makes this weird noise. So I check his sound settings, hit mute on the microphone and the noise goes away. He felt so dumb.

E-bays biggest mistake ever IMO.
Emailed question/answer for ebay is plenty.
They better have something magical up their sleeve for this one.
Shocked they followed through with this acquisition.
