Conference Recorder Review

    I use Ecamm’s Call Recorder for Skype, which is very good. I don’t use iChat because most contacts are not on AIM or .Mac, but that might change in the future.

    BTW, it’s “addition”, not “edition”.

    Nice review, loving the Diggnation poster in the background.

    I agree with Arjun, most of my contacts are on MSN, so iChat isn’t of much use to me.

    I use Audio Hijack pro while in Skype, but this app definitely comes in handy for those many video iChats. I also agree with Marvin: great poster!
