Live Video chat through Skype makes saying Happy Mother’s Day a breeze.
If you missed the mail pick up or are panicking about getting your Mother’s Day cards to her on time don’t worry. You can now send something just a bit more personal this year to let the mother in your life know you’re thinking about her.
In these tough economic times, many families have both parents working, leaving moms to juggle family and career responsibilities. Whether they want to take a few minutes to catch up on the day’s events or call to say goodnight, mothers can easily check in on their kids with a video call. Skype video calling is free and easy, keeping everyone connected during those late work nights and business trips.
And for those Facebook lovers out there, it’s easy to embed/send the cards to all your Facebook friends instantly or use the “Video cards with Skype” Facebook app @ http://apps.facebook.com/videocardswithskype.
What else can I do with Skype?
CONNECT WHILE YOU COMMUTE with a Netbook laptop solution
Trade in that energy-hungry notebook for a smaller (and yes, sexier) ultra-portable system. Effortless to take with you while commuting, on business trips, or while working remotely, a Netbook is basically a smaller, lighter—and less expensive (about $300!)—laptop solution. Although it won’t offer all the same features as a laptop, the Netbook will keep moms connected wherever they go. Jamie Sorcher, Resident Tech Expert for Skype likes the Acer Aspire One (www.aceraspireone.com), “not only is it perfect for making Skype calls to family and friends, but I love its 9-inch screen and rosy pink hue!”
CUT THE CORD CLUTTER by going wireless at home
No more holing up in a home office away from the family. A wireless router lets working moms access the Internet from any room at home without leaving a trail of wires behind for kids to trip over. What’s more, with a wireless router, moms can download the new (and free!) Skype application for the iPhone to keep themselves in constant contact with friends and colleagues without having to run to a computer. Wireless routers can be found at www.newegg.com.
Check the new Skype for the iPhone and iPod touch too
I think Skype users will love it, since many of them already have webcams. Now they can easily record and send a video message. And for those people who still aren’t on Skype, they can still record a video message, and who knows? Maybe it will inspire them to download Skype.
