Skype Launches Laughter Chain to Promote Video Calls

We've all been in a situation where one of us gets a fit of the giggles and before long everyone else is joining in; it's as contagious as a yawn, and a lot more fun. It's a well known fact that laughter brings us closer together – it's a language we all understand and everyone loves a good laugh.

These might be what Skype has in mind for its valued users when the internet phone company showcases its viral campaign featuring a cavalcade of jolly babies, grown-ups, snorting and otherwise breaking into hysterical laughter on camera.

 Skype believes that face-to-face communication is the best kind and this has motivated them to create Laughter Chain which hopefully will promote the company's free video calling feature. You can use Skype to make as many free video calls as you want. Seeing the person you're talking to makes your conversation come alive – you can share excitement, laughter, tears or even just pull a silly face.

Non-cranky Skype subscribers can record their own contribution and become part of the laughter-is-contagious mega video at the Skype Laughter Chain site.
