Just head over to the Skype homepage and download the version for your operating system. Skype 3.0 introduces some new features and bugfixes, please take a look at the release notes if you are curious about them. The interface has seen some slight changes and some new features like public chat have been introduced.

I would not say that Skype made a big step forward, can’t see many other changes yet. Sure there are some new emoticons and stuff like that but this is not that important I think. In case you do not know Skype I decided to list the main features of it.

  • Support of Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Talk or chat with your buddies using Skype and a microphone (for voice chat)
  • Video chat
  • Cheap calls to (mobile) phones worldwide
  • Send files using Skype
  • Conference Calls

I’m using Skype mainly to see when my buddies come online. I know that instant messengers do the same but I never got used to one of those.
