It's called skyping not webcamming

A few weeks ago a friend forced me into making a skype account because he refused to use any other means of talking to me unless it was through skype so I did. And because we didn’t actually do a video call, I didn’t really see what all the fuss was about. My friends at uni always told me OHH I WAS SKYPING WITH MY FRIENDS BACK HOME THE OTHER NIGHT. And the thought that always went through was my mind was, why call it skyping and not just say you were webcamming? Well this weekend just passed I found it why, because skyping is so much better! Yeh okay, youre using the webcam to skype but that’s clearly besides the point. Ive webcammed through msn before and I gotta admit, skype does win hands down. The video quality is better for some odd reason and the screen showing their face is bigger and I don’t know, I just prefer it if I wanted to do a video call. But for plain chatting I still prefer msn, sorry guys!
