Skype....is this a thing now?

Just curious.
I noticed recently, a few members adding the Skype contact info in their profile info.

Just wondering who uses it regularly?
Who is thinking of using it?
Would this be something worthy of more attention?

I was contemplating adding a skype contact to my card model site
for anyone who needs help or advice about models.

(FYI...I am not doing this. Because I don't want the Skype spam.
But I could still share skype with fellow modelers.)

I am new to Skype really.
I had it installed a few years back but never used it.
I just reinstalled it...but, I have a really crappy webcam.
And I look like fuzzy bunnies in the mornings...mid-day...and at night too.
So, I am not cam-friendly.

Just curious what the concensus is on skype calling.
