Skype chat
Skype supports group text chat with an interface similar to IRC with 100 People.
The Macintosh version uses the same message view style format as Adium, though with a different filename extension. Message view styles made for Adium can be installed for Skype, and they do not even need to be renamed.[20] There are a couple of cosmetic bugs,[21] but ignoring those, Adium styles work without modification. This feature is not present in the Windows, Linux, and Pocket PC versions of Skype.
Skype video calling
On Windows XP, Skype 2.0 (and above) supports videoconferencing. For Mac, Skype Beta version 1.5.0.4 was the first version to support Video Chat, making Skype one of the few cross-platform video conferencing solutions between Windows and Mac. As of 14 Sept. 2006 Skype only supports one-to-one video chat. They may support multiple point video conferencing in the future.
Skypecasts
Skypecasts was released on May 3, 2006. Skypecasts are live, moderated conversations allowing groups of up to 100 people to converse, moderated by the ‘host’ who is able to mute, eject or pass the virtual microphone to participants when they wish to speak. Skypecasts do not support chat windows to share text information (such as URLs) with participants.
Skype SMS
One of the few new features in Skype 2.5.0.72 beta is the ability to send SMS messages to mobile phone numbers (a feature commonly used in other IM software such as ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger) at a standard rate. Also, the mobile phone SMS service is EUR€0.05 per message.
Skype web toolbar
The Skype Web Toolbar recognizes phone numbers and Skype Skype. Currently only available for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox on Windows. There is also a toolbar for ThunderBird.
Skype Zones
Skype Zones Beta is software powered by Boingo that provides access to Skype through Skype-friendly hot spots.
Skype history logs
Skype Zones Beta is software that allows users to keep track of their conversations. A log file is created for each contact on a user's contact list. Log files are stored locally, meaning they are not available if a user switches computers. By default, the option to log conversations is disabled, but can be enabled in the tools / privacy panel.

Skype (IPA pronunciation: [skɑɪp], i.e. "skype", rhymes with type) is a proprietary peer-to-peer Internet telephony (VoIP) network founded by the entrepreneurs Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis, also founders of the file sharing application Kazaa. It competes against existing open VoIP protocols such as SIP, IAX, and H.323. The Skype Group, acquired by eBay in October 2005, is headquartered in Luxembourg, with offices in London and Tallinn. It has experienced rapid growth in both popular usage and software development since launch, both of its free and its paid services. The Skype communications system is notable for its broad range of features, including free voice and video conferencing, and its ability to use peer to peer (decentralized) technology to overcome common firewall and NAT problems.
The use of end-user bandwidth in the form of supernodes, the use of closed source software in general, the use of closed source software for encryption of network traffic in particular as well as security of the software, have caused concern among open source advocates. Independent analyses of the software have addressed the latter to some degree
