SKYPE SLOWING DOWN?

Arieanna Foley over at Stowe's Get Real (confusing, huh? just wanted to write it like that:) identifies an interesting trend with Skype:

Average minutes of use per day

* Jan - 28,954,133
* Feb - 37,533,906
* Mar - 41,745,885
* Apr - 41,732,959
* May - 39,451,552
* Jun - 38,479,729
* Jul - 35,754,556

She wonders if it's a "summer thing or competitive pressure." I'd say competitive pressure. People are gunning for them. Why did Google call their new IM/VoIP service "GoogleTalk" instead of "GoogleChat?" :)
