Skype or Google Voice/Video chat?
As far as I can tell these are identical products. Assuming the internet is gradually crowding the phone out of your life, which one do you use more/prefer?

I use Google Voice, mostly because it's free when calling phone lines. The audio quality appears to be about the same, and I otherwise find them indistinguishable.
Skype does do desktop sharing, which I do quite frequently on ReckonLabs business. But that's a special case, and not enough to tip my vote.
I did once have a collection of Skype credit. Then it expired. Apparently the minutes went bad. Because they spoil, you know, if you don't keep them in a cool, dry place.
Am I the only one who doesn't like staring at the face of the person I'm talking to? (And in turn having them stare back at me?) I find the whole idea very uncomfortable, and a bit of an overshare.
Interesting. If anyone is still reading this, can you explain the appeal of Skype to me?
