Skype user base reaching the sky...

Can you imagine 5 Million people in a single room?

Yes, that’s roughly the count of users who were online today on Skype :)




According to Jaanus on Share Skype, 5 million people is:

• more than 3 times the number of people in Estonia
• about 13 times the people living in Tallinn where we are building Skype
• about a third of greater London area
• a quarter of New York metropolitan area
• 1/260th the population of China

Staurt Henshal further explained what this means: “for those of you new to Skype, active online users represents the number of users currently logged into the Skype cloud and available to take a call or text message. Most probably use Skype at least some time during the day. It doesn't mean 5 million people are talking all at once. It does mean that more people are on Skype than live in many countries. It also means that Skype is larger than many national telephone companies. ", he said.

Congratulations and keep growing, SKYPE! btw, do you skype?

Considering the curiousity of BindasBay members here, following introduction about Skype is added:

"Skype - The whole world can talk for free!" - It is a peer-to-peer voice service. Users may call landlines and cellphones for a nominal fee; users may call each other for free. It’s free and easy to download and works from any part of the world. With all the globalization, Skype serves right with its easy-to-use features and amazing clarity of calls. Few friends of mine use Skype to call their families in India, Europe and USA, almost on a daily basis. Learn more about Skype on Skype :)
