Skype is a software that allows chats/voice-calls/video-conferences over the internet. It was developed in 2003 by Skype Limited. There are both paid and free versions.

After signing up for an account and downloading the software, one can add his or her friends in the contacts section. When a friend is online, one can start chatting or voice-calling with him or her. It is completely free, provided that one has internet connection and a web-cam (for voice-calls).

Video-Conferencing is available and Skype has been used widely by MSNBC, The Oprah Show, Ellen, and even CNN.
