Yes. But beware if using skype and making a public tor-node, you might 
end being refused by skype-login (courtesy of MS scanning the list of 
tor nodes and rejecting connection from such address).

(Do not even consider skype inside tor, as the flow would be so slow 
(and it is useless, the eardroppers are at the skype-server))

I wonder about freenet and gnunet.

I am, professionally.

using that, sometimes. Not all websites like it. And for some reason I 
could not install it correctly on my linux box.
Have to rebuild that soon anyway, then I try again.

One way to use it is to prevent google from using your history to give 
you info based on what you agree with already anyway. Sometimes an 
unbiased view is preferable.

First time it did and when I upgraded to a next version it didn't
But I have trouble installing anyway, that is why I have to rebuild.
(and don't tell me that should not happen, I know, but it did)
