Janus Friis is a co-founder of Skype, so his background in the communication industry is cemented. But now the Skype co-founder is trying to make another mark in the world of online communications.

Wire is attempting to be the modern communication service. A sleek minimalist design coupled with in house designed audio software and file compression capabilities, Wire is the faster, elegant communication service.

The key to Wire’s convenience is users on supported browsers will be able to call in-browser rather than opening a separate app. Sharing YouTube and Soundcloud files is easier on Wire, as well as other newer forms of communication like Gifs.
