They already got something called googletalk

But I would recommend everybody to try www.voipbuster.com it's like skype and for 5 Euros a month you can call to almost any phone in like 20 - 30 countries I love the program and have been calling my friends in the states and across europe for a while now using voipbuster and it's great! :D

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - EBay Inc. said Monday it will buy Skype Technologies SA, the Internet telephone company, for about $2.6 billion in up-front cash and eBay stock.

The total value of the deal may increase based on "potential performance-based consideration," eBay said. The online auction company said the acquisition will create "an unparalleled e-commerce and communications engine" for Internet users worldwide.

How long until Voip spam comes along? Or is it already here?

The eBay company should stop buying things. They just ruin the reputations of every company they buy even more than those companies reps might already be. Paypal was already screwed up before eBay bought it, now their even more screwed up. Skype will get screwed.
