Lots of messengers have some kind of social network attached, and Skype is rather limited in that respect. Also people are less inclined to have Skype switched on all the time, because it is in their taskbar. SU could easily integrate Skype features for an "always on" situation.

Can we really trust them Not to pave paradise again, for yet another payparking lot? A little impromptu ‘poem’(with acknowledgement to Joni Mitchell) entitled “I get that sinking feeling”:

Assorted-Western-Influenced-
Profit-Economics-Realities
ASSWIPER, for short

Is a greedy, greedy giant
Who cannot bear to stand and watch
Happy children making pie

His big greasy fingers
Grab and grope
Till it’s all spoiled

And the children run away
And there’s nothing left
Worth keeping

Then he packages the greasy nothing
And sells it to the gullible
Who heard about

The children’s wonderful pie
That no longer exists
Thanks to Asswiper

Spirit of Asswiper
Currently possessing
Ebay?

Can we really trust them
Not to pave paradise again,
for yet another payparking lot?
