Live from the Web 2.0 conference.
Just heard some impressive stats. from Mary Meeker of MS-DW around Skype's adoption - it's achieved the quickest adoption of any application ever. In Denmark - there are now more Skype users than tradional land-line customers. If the growth continues then they should hit 100 million users in the first half of 2006. That said only a small percentage (I think about 14%) of Skype's customers are in the US (compared to 48% in Europe). NOW I understand why ebay paid $US 2 billion - the non-Euro potential is enormous to someone with the global reach of ebay.
Update : Thanks to Claire for the pointer to Mary's slides - just so you know I'm not making this stuff up :)
