Who needs Campfire when you have Skype instead?
I’ve just had someone else try to convert me to Campfire which is basically a chatroom where multiple chatters can get together. But with today’s stable release of Skype 3.6, I figured it was time to finally make this point. You don’t need to have Campfire when Skype does the job extremely well already - with webcam video conferencing features thrown in no less!
When you open a Skype chat window with a contact, there is an option to add other contacts to the chat (just click on the image to the left to see where the button is). Click on the blue button, add the other contacts that want to chat and if you all have webcams, you can chat away and see one another at the same time.
In that scenario, who needs anything else?

Not to mention, for $3 a month you can have unlimited US and Canada POTS (telephone) long distance. For $8 a month you can have your very own incoming telephone number with voicemail and call forwarding. I said to hell with my local telephone company.. I can’t see going wrong with skype for any type of communication.
