The Skype application won great popularity among users worldwide as it allows to communicate, despite of distance between users. However for this purpose it is necessary to find each other at first.
Communication in Skype
The Skype program intended for communication between Internet users from various corners of the world won the popularity in many respects thanks to extensive opportunities which it gives for this communication. So, for example, it can be used as any other text messenger - for sending text messages which besides can be supplemented with the smilies reflecting emotions of the author. Besides, it is possible to put a photo, video or other file which you want to transfer to the interlocutor to such text message.
Besides, this program gives the chance to the users having the webcam on the computer to communicate by means of video conference. In this case interlocutors in literal sense see each other in the course of the conversation: everyone - on the screen of the computer. Therefore in case quality of the video image at cameras of the users communicating among themselves rather high, such communication can create almost full illusion of personal presence, despite of the fact that the interlocutor can be from the vis-a-vis at distance of several thousand kilometers.
Search opportunities of Skype
However at all advantages search opportunities of Skype are rather limited. In particular, to carry out search of the addressee necessary to you, it is necessary to enter his any data into the corresponding line: a name or a surname, the login in Skype or the e-mail address. After input of this information the program will offer you the list of the registered users corresponding to the specified criteria and you will need to find among them that on whom the made request was sent.
Then it will be required to send the chosen user a request for granting a contact information, and only after it accepts it and will send you necessary information, you will be able to use extensive opportunities of the Skype program for communication with the person necessary to you. Thus, in Skype, unlike other widespread messengers or social networks, there is no possibility of selection of the interlocutor by certain criteria, for example, to a sex, age or similar. In other words, you can send a request only to the person who is to a degree familiar to you in real life, on social networks or in other spheres. Such restriction exists in the program not accidentally: developers specially established it in order that the program could not be used for spam sending, advertizing messages or other similar information.
