I concur with Dvorak's assessment of Skype. It's phenomenal. But, the true test of any technology is how it stands under the pressure of intense usage. We at Jewel of Indra plan on putting Skype to the test. In fact, we have received permission to integrate the Skype technology within our multi-user 3D Adults Only community. With so many folks whispering sweet nothings it should be interesting to see how Skype measures up. I will not post the Jewelofindra site url here because this is not intended to be an advertisement for the community. But, with VRML, X3D, Text to Speak, and now VoIP all integrated together, it will be interesting to learn if either of those technologies crack under the pressure. I will keep my eyes open for any signs of smoke.
