...and am on Skype. I needed a little persuasion of [profile] paranoid_blonde for that, but after my conversation with her a moment ago I am completely in love. So flist and other people: drop me a line if you want to be added to my contacts.

WOW!!
March 27, 2006: Six million concurrent Skype users on line.
April 27, 2006: 100 million registered Skype users.

USERS:
Average age: 29.7 years old.
About 46% of Skypers are in Europe, but Brazil and China have the most Skype users of any country, with China coming in at 13% of the Skype population.
Gender information is inconclusive so far. More than half of all users declined to state their sex.
BTW - Ebay owns it.

Hmmm.... maybe I'll look into a microphone.

France 2006
In September 2005, the French Ministry of Research, acting on advice from the general secretariat of national defence, disapproved the use of Skype in public research and higher education; some services are interpreting this decision as an outright ban. The exact reasons for the decision were not given...

Well, I think it's easy to hack it and listen in on someone's conversations. Plus it's very easy to give away too much info. At the moment I declined to give any kind of info that's viewable to every Skype-user. If someone wants that info they can send me an email.

Mic is built-in in my computer. I think it is built-in in every computer nowadays.

Shows you how old my computer is.... though it has USB.

Not that old, I think. I know loads of people that don't have a built-in mic yet.

My computer (an eMac) dates from November 2004. The mic was really a novelty then.
