I just did my first test recording using SkypeOut. After the long distance bill came in for the first month of BlogosphereRadio calls, I decided I should explore some other options. Not only is SkypeOut much, much cheaper, it also is a lot easier to record as it’s already on the computer. The test went extremely well – easy to setup, sound quality was great.
Actually, I like Skype so much that we’re going to add the ability for listeners to talk to us via Skype! Why Skype over a competing product? Well, aside from the fact that it works very well (except on my Tablet), almost 39 million downloads means that the user base is already sufficiently huge. And Skype also supports conference calls of up to 5 people, which should come in handy. If they add the SkypeIn feature that has been discussed (so normal phones can call Skype clients), it will be perfect!
So watch BlogosphereRadio.com soon for the addition of Skype!
