Information

Cone6pots Skype Users

This group is an area where active members can let others know they are interested in more robust real-time communications than just using the chat system. Members can make contacts, arrange calls, and announce scheduled conference calls. Skype requires you to install software on your computer, and a broadband connection to work well. You need a microphone at minimum and a web cam to do video calling. Computer to computer calls are free. There are great accessory features like displaying your computer screen to the person or group you are communicating with.
If you want to use this method with cone6pots network members, this is a good place to announce that you are set up and ready to communicate. 

You can contact a group member privately by sending them a message on cone6pots giving them your contact info - email address, name, and skype user name.  They can then add you as a contact to skype on their end, which you will have to confirm in order to open a communications channel.   ALL POSTINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITHIN THIS GROUP ARE PRIVATE AND VIEWABLE BY MEMBERS ONLY.

Tips for Members

If you just want to spout off, it is best accomplished as a blog posting. If you want to get more guidance and ideas from other members, ask a question as a new discussion topic. In the upper right corner of the lists for both types of posting, you will find an "+Add " button. Clicking it will open an editor where you create your posting. 4/16/2014
