Networking with Groups

You can join interest groups and make friends with group members. You can join groups either
from Yahoo or MSN web sites. In the "Recreation and Sports" group in Yahoo's web site, you
can find subgroups ranging from adventure racing, baseball, basketball, football, gymnastics,
to weightlifting. In a group, you can read and reply to group messages, start a new discussion,
share photos with group members in your own photo album, coordinate events for your group
with a shared calendar, ask members how they feel about any topic, and store links to web sites
related to your group.

Making Free International/Long Distance Telephone Calls

More and more people are making international or long distance phone calls through the
Internet. For example, you can download software from the web site of www.skype.com, install
the software on your computer and make free calls over the internet to anyone else who also
has Skype. Skype is a little program. It's free and easy to download and use, and works with
most computers.
If you click the "Messenger" icon on the upper right corner of its web page, you will also
discover that Yahoo offers PC-to-PC free phone calls. All you and your friends need is
Messenger with Voice -- and a microphone and speakers (or headset).
