Information Research Weblog

I think that Skype is useful if you are a member of a scattered team - as I am, in relation to the group in Leeds that I work with and also in relation to my work in Sweden - it brings down the cost of phoning a long way - I can talk to someone in Sweden for an hour for about 66 pence - which I can't do on the ordinary phone - and if all my contacts get themselves connected, the cost comes down to zero.

Of course, many organizations are now implementing VoIP for internal phone systems, so you may find yourself caught up in it regardless :-)

As for the Weblog - yes, I'll keep it going, in all probability - it just feels a little lonely from time to time :-)
