- havokdu, on 01/27/2009, -0/+168Just imagine having Skype integrated in Gmail, replacing or merging with Gtalk.
Or Maybe Google will bring back the lite, bloat-free Skype client we used to love. - andarnold, on 01/27/2009, -4/+146Yay. Google is going to own everything eventually.
- amandaw33, on 01/27/2009, -3/+115makes sense to me, Skype + ebay = no sense but Skype + GChat = a natural fit. Surprised it hasn't happened already!
- webkami, on 01/27/2009, -4/+109Rumor: Google not to buy Skype
- spinxfd, on 01/27/2009, -0/+68Soon 'The Internet' will be known as 'Google'.
- skersh, on 01/27/2009, -2/+68Dugg for "rumour"
- leaprinces, on 01/27/2009, -1/+45 Could Google buy my friends a ticket home so that I don't use Skype anymore?
- falafelkiosken, on 01/27/2009, -0/+43it was already in the list as #1

Joe: I took a massive dump this morning.

- ValDeV, on 01/27/2009, -5/+32I'm sitting here trying to think of things Google wouldn't buy, and ive come downto a few things.
1.) 4chan
2.) Netscape
3.) Vonage
4.) Yahoo (People will argue with me about this, I personally believe Yahoo is pointless and dead anyhow)
5.) Angelfire/Tripod
6.) Ford (Or any American car company)
Feel free to list more if you can think of any - sfcaptainrob, on 01/27/2009, -2/+27i for one welcome our new google overlords
- sexydawg, on 01/27/2009, -1/+24Contextual ads in the middle of your phone call are gonna be AWESOME!
- ricky125, on 01/27/2009, -0/+22I can't wait for skype beta.
- punkcat, on 01/27/2009, -0/+22Rumor: Skype to put Google on layaway
- Updesh, on 01/27/2009, -0/+20Rumour: Skype has already bought Google in a secret ceremony in the Dominican Republic
- vikingboy, on 01/27/2009, -0/+18Rumor: Duke Nukem Forever to release soon.
- Krissam, on 01/27/2009, -0/+18everything is for sale, it's just a matter of price.
- DAVENP0RT, on 01/27/2009, -0/+17I only hope when Google buys America that they pick a cool name.
- 1807, on 01/27/2009, -2/+18Google is becoming the Cranberry of the Internet world. They are getting into EVERYTHING! (Cran apple, cran grape etc.)...nevermind
- inactive, on 01/27/2009, -0/+15Twitter
- zjbird, on 01/27/2009, -0/+15Just like Youtube and Google video
- protodon, on 01/27/2009, -0/+15Skype is being passed around like a 3 billion dollar hooker!
- rancemo, on 01/27/2009, -1/+16Merging Skype with GrandCentral would be interesting. GrandCentral hasn't really done anything since Google bought it.
- dxgg, on 01/27/2009, -0/+15What's that? Ebay is buying Google?
- NolanFinn, on 01/27/2009, -0/+14last week was the first time someone sent me a youtube link in gchat. i was amazed at the result.
- sockpuppets, on 01/27/2009, -1/+14I hope I live in "I'm Feeling Lucky."

....--------======✩ - awolfe91, on 01/27/2009, -7/+19I hope that AT&T doesn't buy Skype. That would make Skype worse than cow manure. Have you seen AT&T's webmail? Lord have mercy!
- Chebsi, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11You win The Google.
- zadadka, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11It's far from simple...you are forgetting the business impact of forecastable revenue from an established customer base.
In this instance, a product & service that is not only a household name, but one in which "Joe Public" already holds confidence.
Faced with the choice of developing, marketing and hoping over several years that the resultant "G-VoIP-App" might be successful, versus immediate access to that revenue stream, buying Skype makes far more sense if you have the cash...as well as removing the primary competition. - cubicrystal, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11Enjoy:
http://urgo.org/flash/ols-master.html - Coestar, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11GTalk is an IM client...
GrandCentral is, essentially, a glorified voice-mail system...
Neither are VoIP...
So how does GTalk + GrandCentral = Skype, exactly? - Visarga, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11Is Tripod still alive? Man, it's been years since I've last seen it.
- sobe4u8k, on 01/27/2009, -1/+12You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
- borez, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11We already have
- Onestone, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11Gmerica.
- sobe4u8k, on 01/27/2009, -0/+11Rumor: Hell to freeze over
- horsepie, on 01/27/2009, -0/+10If they're in a position to use skype they probably don't want to come "home" and you should stop calling them :-)
- GreatSunJester, on 01/27/2009, -0/+106) - the GoogleMobile. It is free to use but you must have a camera array on the roof which will upload images of your surroundings to Google for StreetView use.
- Mookdc, on 01/27/2009, -0/+10I did. That would be amazing.
- orangefly, on 01/27/2009, -0/+10nah....they'll just revert it to beta....
- angel0, on 01/27/2009, -0/+9now they want to hear our conversations?
- ssavoy, on 01/27/2009, -0/+9Gmerica (Beta)
- foltaggio, on 01/27/2009, -1/+10Skype + Grandcentral = Free call-in? :D (Yes, I know Gizmo already does this, but running both Gizmo and Skype simultaneously is unnecessary)
- Disease, on 01/27/2009, -1/+10Gcountry
- phoenixp3k, on 01/27/2009, -0/+9Dream on.
