Does the world need yet another place to hold virtual meetings? Skype is betting so, and people are already signing up to use a new free service called Skypecast. I’ve created a meeting for this Friday, May 12, at 1 PM EDT titled Conversation Strategies where we can talk about–you guessed it–how we can use Skypecasts as to create a forum where we can talk about creating conversation spaces in Higher Education.

This space is yours to shape, so please join us to talk about what it can be. It will also be a way to test and get comfortable with the new service and also discuss future meetings. Joining the meeting is free. All you need is the latest beta version of Skype. I’m looking for volunteers to help moderate future sessions. Any takers?

Did I mention that it’s free?
