It’s hard to image that Skype was born just eight short years ago. While they weren’t the first, and they have more competition today than ever (FaceTime, Google Huddle), Skype did a lot to take video calling from the stuff of science fiction to an everyday reality.
To celebrate, they are encourage their users around the world to share their Skype stories.
“We want to celebrate the 100s of millions of people who are doing great things – sharing stories, information, special moments – across the world in so many places. It’s the real life moments that matter – the fun, silly, adorable, caring, engaging – all the stuff we know you love to do over Skype, especially whenever you’re apart from the people who you care about the most.”
You can tweet your story with the hashtag #iloveskype. And in case you weren’t convinced, Skype released this video called “The Power of Skype.”
How do you use Skype? Let me know in the comments.
I am a storm chaser in New York and I am in the process on utilizing this for my entire team of 17 members throughout the state but presently I am using for personal duties for online for now.
I didn’t know Skype was around only 8 years, which makes me think how behind I am in Social Media wave… I am trying to puddle fast to be on the big wave though- lol
