I like betas. Well, I like have cutting edge technology, and the latest features. That's why I use Gmail Labs, bleeding-edge Google Chrome (Dev Version), Google Labs, (including my personal favorites, Google Squared and Google Trends), and Google Search Experiments. In addition to all the Google betas, I have the Firefox beta, and the beta of anything else I can get my hands on.

But the point of this post is Skype. Most of my family/friends use Skype, and some portion of them read this blog. So if you haven't already, make sure you go download the Skype Beta. It's definitely worth it.

Just a couple of the cooler features include screen sharing (so no more demanding that you go to Tools -> options -> sound settings -> microphones and webcams -> advanced options -> manual configuration -> reset all). Plus its easier to share contacts, more stable (i.e. less crashes), and its just cool the LATEST VERSION.

If you didn't read any of the post, then use this link to download the Skype Beta. Talk to ya Sunday @ 7!

   I guess I just install it over the skype we already have, right? No need to uninstall the version we already have? Thanks for the info!
