readwriteweb.com — A company that has $500 million in revenue, is profitable and growing, and has a shot at becoming the largest player in what is now a $2 trillion (yes, "t" for trillion) market, should get more respect.

Yikes, I just saw that on their website. And for unlimited worldwide calls, it's $10/mo.Why am I paying Vonage $30/mo for unlimited US calling? Vonage has always been on shaky ground financially; I don't see how they can possibly survive against Skype long-term with this sort of pricing gap.

Skype is amazing , i love it! where else can you call anywhere in the world for under 10$ a month. I use my skype as my land line. Also its incredibly reliable and the video chat is second to none.

regardless of the definition of some invented buzzword, skype has come to be an essential tool for my daily life. It has completely replaced the need for international calling cards.

How long until Skype gets virus-ridden child porn?

The article argues that "Skype is the Biggest Winner of the Web 2.0 ___Era___" (read: era), not that is the biggest winner of Web 2.0 applications. No one is trying to argue that it is.

Buried for being innaccurate.First Skype does not work on the web- it just works through the internet.I gave most of the text a miss, until the eye-catching words "Who Else" caught my eye.Google: not really Web 2.0, though; born in 1999. (wtf?)YouTube: still losing money, no clear monetization model, and video-serving costs are substantial. It is hard to imagine YouTube as an independent company (what else are those ads for then)
