We are always interested in hearing interesting stories about businesses using Skype in creative ways. For instance, [see this story about Rip Curl](http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/casestudies/ripcurl/), the global surf and snowboard brand, whose staff use Skype Video calls to collaborate on designs from opposite sides of the globe.

If you have an interesting story about a business using [Skype video calls](http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/features/video/), or any other [Skype features](http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/features/), please get in touch via this blog, we would love to hear your story.
