Abstract
While Skype has built its reputation for making free voice and video calls, Skype's chat feature changes how and why we carry out conversations. Since 2007 Skype Chat has become one of my primary communication services—on both PCs and mobile devices. This chapter builds from those experiences, whether working with clients operating worldwide or having ad hoc occasional conversations with both business and personal acquaintances from Germany to Australia.
