Every day at Skype, I am able to connect with employees from around the world and engage with them on a level that just is not possible through a conference call or email.
I can go all over the world with Skype.

Skype is one of the world's greatest inventions. I use it almost daily to connect with the people I care about when I'm away shooting. It makes the distance so much more bearable and I actually feel like I'm in the same room as my loved ones.
