Software can turn blogs into meetings

Internet phone-calling software maker Skype has created a way to transform blogs from soapboxes into live, town-hall meetings.

Now, people who have installed the free Skype software can host audio conversations, known as Skypecasts, with up to 100 people at a time.

In addition, San Francisco-based Six Apart is offering the millions of people who have blogs through its TypePad service the ability to publicize their Skypecasts on their blogs. A person visiting the blog can click a link to join the Skypecast.
