Skype is Likely to Continue its Meteoric Rise this Year
We are now connecting with people across the globe more frequently than ever.
Have a look at the amazing growth of Skype, (the Voice over IP telecommunications provider), since its inception. There were over 27.7 billion Skype-to-Skype minutes alone in Q3, 2009.
We are, after all, social animals. The popularity of Twitter, Facebook and the hundreds of other social networking sites proves that!
However, something in the human psyche drives most people to seek out face-to-face contact and eventually one-on-one voice conversation.
This is where Skype is filling the gap. With free calls via the internet to many places around the world, along with free video calling, I believe that Skype will continue its meteoric rise fuelled by this rise in activity on the social networking sites.
I wonder how many of you have initiated a Skype call based on a previous conversation on Twitter or Facebook?
Hello – just a short note to say thanks for this entry. Very well-written.
