I'm a wiz at e-mail and FB but sometimes I want something more real-time, more intimate. If I can't see you in person, a phone call would be great. But, damn, international phone calls are crazy expensive (and there's the whole 14-17 hour time difference).
Which is why I'm so grateful for Skype. This morning I was able to talk to my mother-in-law for almost 2 hours. At 2 cents a minute, that 100-minute phone call was....$2. I can't share a cup of coffee with her for $2!
We did video for about 2 minutes just to remember what we look like (and so she could see my new hair color in person) and then went to voice only to improve the sound quality.
Loving Skype today.
