With higher bandwidth becoming available everywhere, it’s a natural to add voice and video to blogs and WIKIs.

For example, multiple group members could link up for online scientific discussions, sharing research. If the chats are retrievable visual and audio files, this creates a powerful repository of knowledge on specific topics, making publically available information that may not be otherwise retrievable.

Skype, a leader in the telephone-over-internet arena, just introduced a fabulous new upgrade to their software that allows you to embed audio and video into your blogs. And, you can hotlink your internet phone numbers on your website!

Imagine the convenience and, possibly, the spam. Your site visitors click on a link and it dials your phone for them, automatically.

Skype currently offers free long-distance phone calling over the internet, video conference calling, and computer to landline phone calls. Sign-up for a free Sky account here:
