Anyone Use Skype?

I've debated using this with the radio station for a while. I wondered if anyone else had any experience with it?

They added a new feature called Skypecasts that allows you to have up to 100 people on the call. I'm thinking this could be an awesome tool for a talk show on gaming... ;-)

I used this alot last year when I was fooling around in other areas of UT. It worked well stacked ontop of TS or Ventrilo. There were alot of concerns that cropped up later about privacy issues due to the way they handled calls on thier servers. I'm not sure if that issue was settled or not.

Its an excellent well written telephony however. All the calls I made with it sounded as good as any phone I'd ever used.

We may need to test out the conference call stuff.... :-)

I've used it for a few months, since it's free for awhile to call phones from your computer. It let me keep in touch with my mom for free. . .though there were periodic dropouts, they weren't frequent.
