how does skype work - a sort of review.
written by aaron/tigger
ok hehe there's a little introduction. anyhow, here goes.
adding contacts:
you go to contacts, and add a contact. you can then type in a skype name.
examples:
jukesy39 (mine)
wuver1 (arjan)
and a few more but i don't want to embarice the people or anything.
problem with adding:
the person must be on at (the exact) same time as you add them. this is kind of bad in my oppinion. it' not fair. they should make a thing where requests are stored, in skype 3 i think it does his, with a new thing, known as "the events list".
i don't know much more about skype 3.x.
wht can you do on skype:
both voice and text chat.
speed dial.
send files (but i think msn is much better for this)
have a conference call with upto 10 people.
have a text chat with like, 100 people at once!
export sounds such as your own ringtones and such (i love ths!)
have a skypecast, but it's low quality, with about 100 people or so. publicly joinable conferences.
and lots, lots more!
other things:
you get abusive and raisist uses on skype some times.
i was unfortunate to be there at a time where arjan was being threatened by a raisist user, but he was not offended by the raisism, which is very very brave and well... i'm glad that arjan's ok.
me and some friends have kind of been sort of annoyed by jacktheslipper, a (almost very) abusive user, who sends very rude chat messages and does not talk properly on voice, he acts weerd all the time.......
but all the other users? are cool, fun, great, funny, non-abusive, ultimate, supreme.. perhaps not that, but great friends, great people, great audiogamers, great main stream gamers, game developers, voice acters, and many many many more... there are a few familiar faces to our community. time's up. i mean, i've ran out of space! thnks for reading the information and i hope you find it helpfull!
thanks.
