Skype News. To Jajah or not to Jajah.

When this type of stuff ends up in the Skype Journal, you know the gloves are off on what Ebay should do with Skype. There are even articles circulating these days on who Ebay should sell Skype to! Funny enough, as a full time user of Skype services - well at least for peer-peer voice calls - it never even crosses my mind that Ebay owns it. So much for the planned synergies.

I have been fortunate enough to be involved at the client level with click-to-call for over a year now. I say fortunate because while it is rather simple technology it is significantly changing the Internet landscape. The phone is back. This posting at the Skype Journal on the click-to-call battle reminds me of what a client of mine said a year ago when estimating Skype's ultimate role in the click-to-call market. People still want to use a phone over a computer and more importantly, the phone will always be the universal interface. Meaning, everyone knows how to use it. And websites want to appeal to everyone.

I join everyone else is my curiosity of what Skype will be when it grows up. For the moment though, I continue to use it for what it's best at and nothing else. After all, with Jajah, Lypp, ifbyphone and a slew of others, I have no lack of options.
