Last time I checked Skype's user count was above 500 million and they have 50+ million daily active users. Their network effect is pretty huge.

- alex_c 16y agoThat really depends on the average size of someone's network. How many networks are only composed of 2-3 endpoints? (most common example - talking to family "back home"). Compare to Facebook's 100+ average network size.
- dedward 16y agoIt is humungous, to be sure. The only reason skype is the king right now is because nobody has motivation to switch to anything else. Skype works, without hassle. It's a good product. The moment it ceases to be a good product, though, there is nothing holding them in their marketplace. The world can hop onto a new piece of p2p VOIP software in the blink of an eye.
