Oprah goes Skype

I was looking forward to watching my fellow Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey using Skype for communications on her ambitious Webcast. I signed up at Oprah.com. I was good to go.
Oprah's project features spiritual teacher and best-selling author Eckhart Tolle on an interactive classroom Oprah.com. The 10-week program discusses Tolle’s "A New Earth: Get Ready To Be Awakened." I was ready to be reawakened.
Skype, along with GM's Chevrolet division and Post-It Notes, is sponsoring the Webcast. With over 750,000 registrants, and about a half million who showed up, this well could be, to quote Oprah, the world's largest classroom.
Oprah explains it all at Skype Campaigns.
Oprah's star power attracted 750,000 registrants from 139 countries, from Albania to Zimbabwe, and all 50 states.
