Skype users: Lets try something

[andy]

Skype has this new service 'skypecasts' where it is possible that multiple persons join in a 'conference call' for free!

This could be come a new thing here, for us to host a constant voice chat *IF* it works and there is enough interest.

So,,, in order to try that I created a conference where everyboby cal 'dial in' to BUT YOU NEED TO USE SKYPE by dialing +99001110004380655 Which is the current BMWLT.com skypecast.

COme join me for a test. I'm going to be online for a few waiting for someone to show up.

Hey, Andy - I missed being online for this - did it work??

I don't see how Skype'ing is going to be any more successful than the 'Chat' of this forum. I could be wrong...

Yes and No

Yes there can be multiple people 'calling in' and chat, BUT it is still a BETA product and as such the voice clarity and sound quality is WAY worse than on standard skype.

So, I guess we will have to watch the development.

Joe, the key here is that on skype we could actually really talk as in forming and speaking words with your mouth and we would all be just as sittin g around one table and talking to each orther.

So there is a significant difference between our chat (text and keyboard oriented) and a real voice conference chat.
