Look, Capitol Hill is a pleasant place to be, okay? There are interns desirous to please, lobbyists keen to shop for you dinner, why would you ever desire to leave? Unfortunately for US Congressmen and ladies, the schleps who elected them insist on getting face time with their supposed representatives, which implies a typical schedule of commuting entering into the style of a few critically important foot massages and aromatherapy treatments. Never fear, though, Skype has come to the rescue. Microsoft’s latest acquisition has scored a stamp of approval from the home of Representatives, permitting Congresspersons to exploit it to engage with constituents, attend virtual town hall meetings, and collaborate with other members of the home. All fun-making of lawmakers aside, this strikes us as a step within the right direction and Skype promises that it’s done its homework on keeping communications secure. Let’s hope so.
