I was having a conversation with one of my Hobby buddies back in Maryland. A high-roller.
He asked me if I ever used Skype to verify a Provider. I have not and actually never thought about it.
He tells me that he was setting up an over-night with someone, who hadn't a lot of reviews, and got a preview on Skype before committing to the date. He also said that he has Skyped in hotel parking lots before heading up to the date(s).
Obviously he can't do this with everyone since you'd need a decent smartphone on both ends for this.
So, has anyone every attempted this? I'm not sure if I would but the idea sounds good on paper.
Thoughts?
