Facebook Chat VS Skype

Share:

Today The Facebook Blog posted an article by Rodrigo Schmidt titled Chat with No Interruptions which indicates that The Facbook Chat Feature has been improved and that there are more improvements to come.

This is nice and all but as most of us know, The Facebook Chat feature is a gateway hackers use to get into your account.  Also, the new and improved chat feature won't do anything for you if your account is banned or disabled by Facebook.  Myself and many others are now using Skype to chat to other Mafia Wars players.  Skype is easy to use and install and the best part is it's free.  You can actually talk to other players using a microphone but most use this program for the chat feature which is very similar to the one we have on Facebook.  The benefits of Skype is it's totally independent of Facebook and you decide who to add in your contacts list.
To download Skype and start your own account today, follow the simple steps below.
1.  Go to the The Skype Website and click on "Get Skype".

2.  Click"Get Skype for Windows".

3. Click "Register and download".

4. Create a new account (or log in if you have made one in the past).

6.  Read and accept the Skype End User License Agreement, the Skype TOS and the Skype Privacy Statement, click "I agree" and continue with the download process.

7.  Click "I agree" again to install.

8.  Once the Download and Installation process is complete, sign into your account.

9.  Now you are ready to start using this program.  Check out all the features and start looking for your friends to add as contacts.

Here is an example of what my account looks like during a group chat session.
