Can someone explain the SKYPE phenomenon? It's been out there for a couple years now. And before that - we had AOL instant messenger, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, ICQ, and a few others - all do Audio and Video. Yahoo offered phone calls for awhile via Net2Phone.

Skype is nothing new. They're just better at getting their name out there, and I believe - better at the product because that's ALL they do.

@JeffPom: I don't use the Skype videoconferencing anymore, but Skype is great to use as a long-distance calling solution. I use that function daily. Since I have an account, I can make calls from my iPod touch as well, if I'm in a hot spot (and have the mic). None of those things can replace Skype.

Came someone seriously explain the whole Oprah phenomenon?

I truly don't get it. All I know is that one time she gave free cars to her audience and free chicken to everyone, although the free chicken was not really delivered because of bad communication with individual KFC chains and headquarters.

What is so great about this sometimes fat, sometimes skinny black woman?

@Professional_Iceberg_Hunter: She releases pheromones into the air that make 80-90% of her audience happy. That, and Dr. Phil is actually Satan.

@Kaiser-Machead: I see, I see. I think I need kill a couple of my brain cells and learn about pop culture. I might even have to turn on *gulp* E news!

This woman still seems really lame to me.

Is the aforementioned woman and this Phil fellow dating?
