Oprah experimented with Skype during her last season on TV as well on the Web.

Well, Oprah's back with a new season. And she's using Skype more than ever.

In case you missed it, the media queen used Skype in four out of five of her first programs. All told, she's used Skype nine times.

She fondly refers to "Skypers" and has mentioned how Skype is enabling her to see viewers in their homes.

In case Oprah comes calling at my house, I hope she can give me a heads up so I can comb my hair, change from PJs and pick up around the house.
