Would You Interview For a Job on Skype?
If you ask me, using Skype for dating is one thing, but using it for a job interview is something entirely different. But now, employers are turning to Skype as a cost-cutting interview tool. Instead of flying prospective candidates for in-person meetings, some companies are using the video-chatting software to narrow the list to a few finalists.
You Are Now Free to VoIP Via 3G on Your iPhone
As you may have heard me say before, the iPhone can do pretty much everything under the sun except open a bottle of champagne thanks to its amazing apps — except use its 3G goodness to make calls from Skype, that is. You could use any open WiFi signal to dial up your pals for free over the Internet, but Apple drew the line at you hopping on its 3G signals to use voice over IP.
After much grumbling from the geek population (including a few gripes from yours truly), Apple has finally allowed 3G voice over Internet calling, which includes using your free Skype App.
Would You Be Open to Speed Dating on Skype?
I've never embarked on any online dating adventures, but I have many friends who have — some have found love, while others have had miserable experiences. The whole idea of having to weed through potential suitors not only to determine which ones have legit profiles, but also to decipher which ones could be a potential match seems so daunting. Now if I were searching for love online, a new service for Skype called Skyecandy seems like a quick and painless way to meet people.

Oprah Asks "Where the Skype Are You?"
Today on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah will be dedicating her entire hour to the free video conferencing and telephone service Skype. She will not only chat with Skype's president Josh Silverman (via Skype, naturally), but she'll also be Skyping into Antarctica, a submarine and even an airplane. Ever since September, I swear Oprah has been using Skype more to chat with guests rather than having them fly to Chicago.
Cheap Ways to Chat With Mom on Sunday
Sometimes the best things in life are free, so if you won't be able to see your mom this Mother's Day, why not surprise her with a phone call or video chat session? Even if you can't be with her, she'll still be able to hear your voice and see your smiling face. And just think, you won't be spending a small fortune on a gift she'll never use anyway!

Do You Use Skype?
I come bearing good news from the rumor mill: apparently, Skype for the iPhone is due to surface sometime next week.
I've long loved Skype, the service that lets you make calls over the Internet, and as an iPhone user, this is nothing but good news.
