Whether Skype is the killer app for much longer or not, the realization that a call no longer requires the -- gulp -- phone is liberating. So, it's time to do the what-comes-next segment.
Couple that with being able to do live video feeds (a close friend watched my newborn in real time via a Skype call the other night; too cool), Skypecasts to invite up to 100 people into a conference call and then upload as a podcasted session, and the infinitely inexpensive credits to talk to anyone in the world as often as I like, the new sidebar widget I just installed so someone can immediately Skype me (if I'm available) directly from the blog, and I'm having a hard time thinking about signing up for yet another Cingular contract (unless the iPod phone is all that its cracked up to be, and then maybe I'll get snake-bit again).
So, since Skype truly opens up the world to me conversationally to support the growing networks I'm blessed enough to be in, the next question -- of course -- is can anyone help me be a superhero of a spy or agent and confirm if my Skype buddies are telling the truth when we're talking. After all, top secret business requires trust on a huge scale.
Oh, man, CIA...look out...I'm half-way home!
