Who is leaving Skype running on their computer all the time for business?

I've had Skype for years but never found a real use for but last week I created an account for use with the radio show and I've been leaving Skype open and now prefer it over ICQ.

Already have a handful of people in my Skype list including people that I normally use ICQ to communicate and now I'm finding that we are using Skype instead even though I also have ICQ running.

It's nice being able to switch to voice if needed although I'm not crazy about doing video as normally the last thing I want is for people to see me looking all wrong still looking like I just climbed out of bed.

I guess I never really grasped that Skype is also good for doing text only chat which is what I prefer most of the time and always thought of it as video/voice chat software.

How many of you are using Skype for this biz?
