Congratulations to Skype. Weve just learned that the number of Skype users online has reached 27,339,038 million. Yesterdays high was below 26 million. Therefore, on the same day, Skype has bolted through not only the 26 million threshold, but the 27 million threshold as well, gaining over one million users in one day.
Skype has already had a huge 2011. First, they purchased mobile savvy video streaming service Qik for a rumored $100-$150 million. Then they announced a partnership with Panasonic and Sony to introduce Skype-enabled Blu-ray Players. They also launched group video calling for consumers and enterprises, allowing people to see each other more, no matter where they are. And lastly, a partnership with Verizon: Skype mobile with video will soon be available on the Verizon 4G LTE Mobile Broadband Network.
See our recent interview with Skype, GM and VP Jonathan Christensen at CES last week. Were looking forward to seeing big things from Skype this year.
