Recently came across the Analyst Day presentation by Ebay. This raises questions whether Skype is getting polluted and going down the path of being yet another IM which is merely all about being an onramp to monetizable services by Ebay by providing Ebay tab, money transfer through Paypal, etc. (check slide 281 - 290). Also, recently they signed a co-marketing agreement to promote Symantec products to their user base. All signs seem to be that Skype is becoming yet another Yahoo or AOL. The difference is that Skype has better voice and worse presence/chat.
