Re Skype. The hype today is a rumored possible buyout by Ebay at stratospheric numbers. Already lots of talk regarding the logic of such a deal. Some like it. Some are scratching their heads without a clue.

Well wait till they get a load of Skype video using VP7. LOL. Its really amazing that the smart boys who pick apart deals haven't picked up on the real potential for offering efficient bidirectional video communications based on a free IP delivery platform like Skype to millions or Ebayers engaged in hundreds of millions of daily transactions. They ought to think a few minutes more and maybe then the lights would stop flickering.

Who knows for sure whether Ebay buys Skype. Maybe. Maybe not. It's not as dumb as some may think. And if it should happen. and iF Skype video is VP7, as I am coonvinced it is, then we will all be running with the bulls.
