I have come to depend on Skype more and more, esepcially for doing remote podcasts, so this doesn't make me feel very well. Alternatives include, AOL Instant Messenger and Gizmo. There are some online alternatives like uStream.tv, too, which allows 1-4 people live video conferences.

On my iPhone…IFTTT (If This Then That) for iOS
