So Many Ways to Enhance Skype
You're probably aware of the handy communications tool, Skype. Maybe you've used Skype for instant messaging or for easy and inexpensive international phone calls. But if you're like me, you probably had no idea the extent of how many tools are available to use with Skype.
Mashable has compiled a list of over 50 enhancements for Skype that can customize and increase the functionality of your Skype application. Some of these additional Skype services have additional fees, but many are available entirely free of charge.
Here's a sampling of some Skype add-ons that can help your organization:
- Skype Google Gadget: View your Skype credits and make calls to other users directly from your Google Desktop
- MyToGo: Add multiple phones to your Skype account that you can then use to call into your account or check your Skype voicemail
- Yugma: Share your desktop and conduct conference calls over Skype with up to ten people for free.
