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

I have Skype on my notebook (because it's got the webcam) so if that's up & running next to me, Skype is on.

I'd love to get rid of ICQ, but you just can't - too many contacts on there & every old school webmaster still uses it. Thew spam doesn't bother me too much - once a day I just go down & delete/ignore them all.

I also have Yahoo's IM running as an old friend uses that. I also have Facebook & Twitter open pretty much 24/7.

I've seen you in your work attire - you have nothing to be ashamed of

You have seen me in my we have a male house guest attire. My regular attire I would need to be changing for cam shows.

I see from reading the replies to this thread that most see Skype as video/voice software which is also how I've always seen it but it is also text chat software just like ICQ and that is all that I would want to use it for 90% of the time.

Anyway I'm going to start leaving Skype open all the time right next to Aduim which actually has ICQ and AOL accounts logged in and just use whatever the person on the other ends wants to use.
