The wonders of Skype
I know there might not be much need for this if you're all around and wotnot, but I just can't get over how cool this Skype thingy is. Been using it personally to call back dirt cheap, and it works well. Got my work buddies into it and it's pretty good for freebie conferencing seeing as we're scattered over the globe atm (somebody's in Australia, FrenchPolynesia, somewhere in Pacific, dunno where) and it's pretty cool if you can 'find' *cough, netstumbler, cough* a way onto the t'interweb to get freebie calls (and the quality is cool too). Been using it to chat to my group when playing Everquest too, (hot swedish chicks make funny noises for Selo's and ManaSong). Works well for 3-4 in the group chatting in a conference, not server needed like Teamspeak/Ventrillo and the sound quality is REALLY good, not too much lag either. Even had 'unusual' calls from Asian chicks (blocked them in the end, was cute for a bit, like chatrooms for the first 5 mins, then repeats with A/S/L get tired so quickly, chatrooms, not talking, as it's usually obvious the 'S' part). REALLY worth checking out, if you get a mic and headphone, gimme a bell, cost's nowt;

I installed skype for a bit and used it to chat to a few people, although I didn't have headphones but it worked very well through the speakers. The lag was a little slow, but that could have been down to my connection.
Very good though.
I haven't been called out the blue by anyone i.e. young asian girls but I'm sure an good night could be had by you phoning up anyone out of the phone list and winding them up.
Unfortunately, I then took the microphone off my machine and put it upstairs on my amp so I can sing quietly and it comes out quite loudly. Eeehh technology eh? :)
I may get one of those little headset thingy's that they use in call centres.
Can't you have multi conferencing in IM anyway? Whats the difference between this and skype? (I don't use IM, and haven't got round to installing Trillian (open source, attaches to IM, AIM, Yahoo Chat etc.))
On a side note, ensure that you check for spyware. :)
