Interview People via the Web
I have been looking for a free service for a while to interview people via the computer. The most I have found is ones that allow a free month. But thanks to "ShellTerrell" whom I follow on Twitter (from Germany), I found Wetoku. All you do is give a link to the person you want to interview and get online at the same time and push "start." Immediately you have a link and embedded code to put on a website. The only disadvantage is that it is not as good quality as some of the other paid ones, but for the price it is excellent.
