Who is leaving Skype running on their computer all the time for business?

I do use Skype but if you leave it open you are asking for trouble. Have connects in Asia. We talk on Skype. if they get hacked, you get hacked. Lots of Chinese stuff going on with Skype and not good. If you do leave open all the time, check your list daily for new people in your contact folder and you have no idea who they are...

I use ICQ, but don't keep it open all the time. I used to use yahoo, but don't even have it installed anymore, is it important enough these days?

I use Skype, primarily for my radio show, along with Pamela to record the interviews. Like everyone, I hope MS don't fuck up skype, it's pretty good as is.

I'm not familiar with Adium, what is that?

Adium is a Mac client that does ICQ, Yahoo, AOL and a bunch of others. I use it myself, it's excellent.

I never heard of Pamela and had to Google it just now. I'm using Nicecast to do my radio show and it archives all the audio including Skype so that is how I do it.

Thanks much for the links Cleo, the Adium would be a good choice on my Mac. I run Skype on my PC, Pamela records my interviews then I load to the site where my show airs.
