Heads up, speakers: Summer Skype deal and tutorial

Speakers are using Skype not just for personal calls, but conference calling and even to "sit in" on panels at remote locations when travel isn't possible. If you're looking to practice or can anticipate more Skype-ing, take advantage of this sale: Until July 31 you can buy a year of Skype Premium (unlimited calls to U.S./Canada phone numbers) at half price ($54).

And if you're a Skype newbie, check out this useful guide to video chat from Lifehacker...then order your account with the summer sale.
