How to Join a Skype Public Chat
If you're a Skype user with a version earlier than Skype 4.0, you can engage in what is called a "Public Chat." These chats allow Skype users to type to and vocally chat with other users without having to add anyone extra to their contacts list. Public Chats are accessed through snippets (links) on websites that host Skype Public Chats for users.
