Skype Qik is a new video messaging app that runs alongside Skype on your device and gives you a fun and easy way to capture and share quick moments and thoughts with friends and family. While I regularly have Skype calls with my dad (who lives in a different state) – this app can be used in between those calls for quick conversations and to share moments with him even though he’s in another state. It can help me make my dad feel more involved in my life. Ok mushy stuff aside, it can also be used to send quick funny and annoying messages to your best friend too.
