Not that I am an experienced scholar, ;), but I don't really see any
differences either.
With one exception, and that is that you will be adding eachother to
eachothers contact lists (I assume) and that these contact lists are
continously connected in a way that oldschool paper address books are not
(you'll still be able to see echothers online status, changes of profile
picture e.tc. after the project is over). So you'll have to figure out
when/if it is going to be appropriate to end that connection, i.e. delete
eachother from the contact lists. Or if you want to create a special Skype
account just for this particular research.

Thank you for your answers. I am happy to see that it does not seem to
worry you more than that. I will keep to discuss this around me and
see if any other opinions arise here...
