Tech Note: Gizmo vs Skype

A few weeks back I recommended that you try Skype, a VOIP “softphone” that enables you to make free long distance telephone calls to anyone else who has the program. Now that I’ve tried Gizmo, another similar free product, I’m afraid I’m going to have to change my recommendation.

Gizmo is better than Skype. Gizmo seems to be second generation. The interface is smoother, the feature set is larger (includes built in recorder), and, best of all, the quality of the phone call itself is better. Check it out at http://www.gizmoproject.com/.
