I am not sure if it is going to become the most widely used communication tool but Skype continues to grow, faster. The registered users grew by more than 41% to reach a mammoth 521 million users and scored a healthy third quarter while eBay still tries to let go of it. The earnings have gone up to $185 Million which is quite, well impressive and that is not it, it has shown a the same exponential growth in everything, the free Skype to Skype minutes have grown by 74% to a staggering 27 billion free minutes. I am just wondering if this does continue the way it is, Skype may very well cross the $1 Billion yearly revenue in the next two years.
