Overall Satisfaction with Skype

Skype is being uses as an instant messaging system.
  • Real time conversations
  • Sharing computer screens with people you are talking to
  • Sending attachments
  • When sharing my screen I often forget where the share screen button is
  • "Bots" adding me as a contact
  • Has made communication more efficient.
I believe skype's biggest advantage is that it is free to use the messaging system.
Skype is well suited in the office for dropping a quick message as opposed to an email.
