Skype Integration

Many of you know of the internet calling program called Skype.

For those who don't or haven't heard of it yet....

Skype is a little piece of software that lets you make free calls over the Internet. They're revolutionizing the telecoms world by allowing our users to make superior quality voice calls to other Skype users for free and to landlines and mobiles worldwide for the price of a local call.

It has already had over 100 million downloads of our software and every day over 150,000 new users join us and our 33 million active users. Skype is free to download, easy to setup and is generating lots of interest.

Available on several types of systems: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Pocket PC platforms.

Other Skype Services.

SkypeOut lets you call landlines and mobile phones around the world at local rates.

SkypeIn gives you a personal number so that friends can call you on Skype from their old-fashioned phones, wherever you connect around the world.

Skype Voicemail lets you pickup messages when you’re offline, away from your computer… or just ignoring people




We now provide integration with it, like with other Instant Message programs. You can enter your Skype number under User CP -> Edit Profile.

If you click on someone's Skype number on BirdBoard, these are the options you'll get:
View Skype profile
