eBay buys Skype

Its not strictly blogging news, but I know a lot of bloggers use Skype. Skype is now Skype an eBay company; official news on the eBay website here and Skype website here.
The only immediate change is that if you’re an eBay user, your Skype details can now appear in your about me page.
Well…it looks like both Google and Yahoo are in for some serious competition in the chat/VoIP world now that Ebay has acquired Skype.
It saddens me that Skype has joined the long list of dot-coms that have sold out to big corporations.
