    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Inc, my opinion (FWIW) is we could all get by on Skype, Yahoo, MSN, etc if we want to save you bandwidth.

    Doesn't Skype hijack your bandwidth to use for routing other peoples calls?

    Bandwidth, I/O, it all comes down to bps (bits per second) somewhere. Remember wqhen we used to erroneously refer to this as baud rate

    There is a part of the Skype agreement which suggests that Skype can use your machine as a "Supernode" to use your machines resources and bandwidth for 3rd party traffic.

    If you have a limited download capacity on a plan with your ISP, Skype may be using this capacity without your knowledge.

    Check out the ANUs discussion on Skype

    I won't be using it on my machine.
