How is skype?

Well there has been quite a few years since skype first came into my ears, more than 400 million users have been living with Skype in their globalized lives. What we have been enjoying is the possibility of talking to the other side for free or at a lower price and with a decent phone quality at the same time. Skype allows multiple people to chat in the same session. Some kind of conferencing, right? A newbie in the market, oovoo, has been dragging more than 7 million users (most of them in the business domain) in the unified communication market. Oovoo's starting point is to provide video-conferencing functionalities which are very much used in the all kinds of business sectors. In the ression time, internet is a way to save the communication cost. Skype also starts to put its focus on the online collaboration and video conferencing functionalities.We will see what happens in the next 6 months.

What's interesting here, is that a start-up like oovoo still had the courage a few years ago to make an online communication business with the large popularity of existing tools such as skype and other commercial tools. That is the spirit of innovation and courage to challenge.
