Gmail. Why Chat When You Can Call? Hmm...

 
Thank you Google. Not that I hate Skype. Quite the opposite. I just like that there's another option now. It's innovation like this that tends to keep big business on its toes. Which is always good for consumers. What sucks though is that this is only free if you live in the US or Canada, so it'll probably still be Skype for the rest of us earthlings. Either way, it's a step in the right direction. Learn more here.
