Skype showing an interesting performance in terms of acquisition of new customers or at least of opening of new accounts ( not necessarily the same thing).
Their seemingly sustainable quarterly profitability is also good news although it does not justify the price eBay paid to acquire Skype in the first place.

The company now has 405 million users worldwide, and it is adding 380,000 new accounts daily. Skype continues to offer free calling between Skype users and low cost rates to all other physical phones. The company also posted a $45 million Q4 2008 profit, the 8th consecutive quarterly profit for the company. Skype also says 2.6 billion SkypeOut minutes were used, and SkypeOut minutes are estimated to be growing 61% quarterly, which will bring significantly more revenue to the company if the trend continues. <A href="http://business2press.com/2009/02/03/skype-4-brings-new-interface-better-quality/">Skype recently launched Skype 4.0</A>, the biggest and most comprehensive upgrade to its service.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F3AFD92B-2B13-45A5-A951-08DE30404CC2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
