Okay, so skype took a dive for a couple of days. That sucks…I even had to resort to using my good old (and very reliable) land line to call my pops in SA - and it cost me money man…like 9cents a minute.

Anyway, so what does this mean for Google Talk? Do you think this will migrate more people over to that service? I have never utilized the google talk feature but have always wondered how many people do. I would think that it offers some competition though skype definitely has the upper hand. These kind of crashes of a service can completely refigure a market. However my guess is we will all return to our normal skype ways and do what we normally do.

  1. Until Google Talk offers GoogleIn and GoogleOut the same way SkypeIn and SkypeOut does, it’ll just be Yes Another Internet Call service.

    There are a million of them.

  2. If Google rolls the Grandcentral service into GoogleTalk, as many people have speculated, I think it will blow Skype out of the water…. Likely won’t happen for quite some time though.

  3. Yep… it would.
