cnntoobinskype Skype video hits primetime on CNN during Spitzer scandalYou’d think that with all their money and resources that CNN would be able to come up with the best video equipment that money can buy. But during a recent interview with CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin about the Eliot Spitzer scandal, they ended up using a mobile phone, a laptop, a webcam - and Skype video.

Toobin apparently went to law school with Spitzer and CNN wanted his insights. But the analyst was on holiday with his family and the only way they could connect with him on Maui was through his laptop, mobile and Skype. So began Skype’s big moment of triumph.

CNN Senior Vice President David Bohrman said he was “pleasantly surprised at the quality of the video”
