Free calls available to some businesses via Skype

First, I alway like to indetify when a product or feature is in the “beta” stage of development, and this is one of them.  (“Beta” means that it is not fully supported, and that there can be unforseen problems…the user is a tester.)

Skype Click to Call is feature that allows calls to Skype Names and numbers on some websites, after a plug-in has been installed.  Numbers that are labeled “FREE” are able to be called for free.

When using the Microsoft Windows disk operating system, the browsers that support the plug-in are:  Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome.  For the Apple Mac, Safari can be used.

Those interested in participating in Skype Click to Call as a business or advertiser using Skype can get more information at http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/advertise/click-to-call/

Skype Click to Call can be downloaded from http://beta.skype.com/en/download-skype/click-to-call/

Mother’s Day is May 8th! A couple of ideas…

 

May 8th is Mother’s Day!  (You’re welcome…)

Is your mother into tech?  Well, we have a couple of ideas for you.  OK…chicBuds does…

—————————————————————–

 

The chicBuds RockBuds DJ Sport Headphones are black, fold for carrying and storage, and have an adjustable headband.  They use a 44 mm driver.  The length of the cord is 1.5 meters.  A 3.5 milimeter stereo plug is at the end of it, and a 1/4-inch adapter is included.

The chicKiss Bluetooth Wireless Headsets are decorated with Swarovski Crystals for that classy, sassy look.

It comes in two colors:  white, and pink.  An over the ear hook is included, as is three silicon gel tips (XS, S, and M).

A wall adpater charger is supplied for the rechargeable headset.  The standby time can be as long as 200 hours, and talk time up to 6 hours.  The cord for the charger had a plug on it so it can be charged via a USB port, also.

Though intended for use with a wireless telephone, I was able to use it with my computer.
