Ebay bought Skype for 2 billions
 

havent seen a english article yet, but it is official as of today

skype sucks.

Says 2.3 billion loonies.

54 mill users in 225 countrys, and 150.000 new members every day

i love skype - but when they do the same as with Paypal you will be not allowed to talk about adult related topics anymore pretty soon :)

Ebay bought Skynet? Does John Connor know about this?

You beat me to that one :1orglaugh

that is a pretty big amount of cash. damn.

not a good thing at all as ebay tends to fuck things up with the things they buy

they sure do

not to mention if you like skype now it's going to change a lot with having to recoup 2billion that's a lot of ads and paid options on the way:(

i will stop using skype
now that ebay is involved

I think google will make something that will kick its ass... a shame google dident buy it instead

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?

this really sucks, man! so, we are going to use google talk, instead... :(

Wow, those guys that make Kazaa really know how to churn software out....

it will be interesting to see what ebay does with skype technology

I never really liked skype, now it will only get worse...

yeh, ebay buying them is just telling on how it will soon be capped, limited, and censored, and Im' sure they'll find a way of freezing your account if you say bomb, bomb bomb....I was a bombadier in WWII...


fuck ebay for wrecking a good service...it's only a matter of time

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i have never skyped b4,it always seems like something i should get into being my cell phone bill is so high..

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.
