Please do not feed the pedants. I have started using my google account for video conferencing and found it to be better than Skype when there are bandwidth problems (why we decided to try it). I also found Oovoo better in the same situation. Several issues with Skype make it a problem for me but it is much more suitable for terrorists etc. as it does not store any data... Great for the tinfoil hat brigade but if you send a message to someone who is not online, they do not get that message if you are not online when they get online. They online get the message when you both come online at the same time (this is a problem as I am dealing with people all over the world and in very different time zones) so I have to use another method to send the message, i.e. gmail, so why not stay in the google front end and use their video conference facility.
You are a terrible tin-foil-hatter.
You just told them to use Skype.
