Long distance relationships with Skype
By
Peter on March 25, 2008 in Skype in the news.
On Sunday, Wired brought us the story of the first Twittered marriage proposal — and here’s the evidence:
Stephanie Sullivan, who accepted Greg Rewis’ proposal, said that ‘email, Twitter, Flickr and Skype are the staples of a long-distance relationship — not to mention extraordinarily high cellphone bills!’ Of course, I’m going to mutter something about Skype’s rather good mobile products here, but it’s great to know that Skype’s helping to make people happy even if they do run up big mobile bills at the same time…
On the subject of long distance relationships, yesterday the mental health team from Emory University blogged about how to maintain relationships while 10,879 miles apart; last month, Lee McEwan talked about the rise of the commuter marriage, and we heard last week about UK blogger Roo Reynolds’ thoughts on Ambient Skype. What’s next?
