Just a note: Biggest problem I see with vSkype is that it is currently only
available for Windows. I prefer IRC just because I am more familiar with it
(never used Skype but am willing to try it out), although I agree about the
misinterpretation being higher with written rather than spoken communication.
I would mainly be listening anyway so whatever works best for others is fine
with me.
