Widget Watch: Skype widget

I've got a real love/hate relationship with Skype. I like the idea of being able to talk with anyone in the world via my Mac on the cheap, but I don't actually use it ever. I understand that I'm in the minority here, however. Many people use Skype regularly. It is for you folks that I'm writing about the Skype Dashboard widget.

Make calls, look up international calling codes and check Skype Out’s global calling rates all from your Dashboard. Note that you must have Skype itself installed (version 1.3) for this widget to work.

skype works very nicely - the $.02 interntional call thing works also but if eBay buys them, I'm switching over to Gizmo.

Too little too late -- I honestly have moved away from Skype because of their lackluster mac support -- sure it's 1.3 now, but how many months was it after the windows version? Not to mention, the closed technology is odd indeed -- try Gizmo, or atleast test it out and serve up a review compared to skype.
