Never fear, Skype's here

By My status Jane Hoskyn on December 20, 2006 in Skype in the news.

Intriguing little story spotted on tech news site Slashdot, which claims that the police are asking members of the public to contact them using Skype if they’ve got any info about crim’nuls. Apparently, BBC News is even embedding Skype links to Crimestoppers UK.

Makes that phone number on Nick Owen’s chest look a bit prehistoric, doesn’t it?

All we need now is a Skype link on your actual telly. You know: press red to Skype Crimewatch. Or maybe you could to do your X Factor or Big Brother audition via Skype Video, so you can avoid queueing all night in the cold? The possibilities, my Skype-loving telly addict friends, are limitless.

Actually it's just a chap that's downloaded Skype three and hasn't worked out what the plug in for IE or FF does :O
