Historical Development
Skype was created in 2003 to make it simple for family, friends, co-workers, and people that matter to you to share experiences together wherever they may be in the world. Skype's text, voice, and video software made this possible. Skype gained popularity and continued to grow because it was one of the only software applications that allowed users to communicate with other people over the internet in the form of voice and video communication. Also, it gained widespread popularity in May 2011 when Microsoft acquired Skype Communications for $8.5 billion dollars. With Microsoft already being a successful company, Skype gained much popularity. Today, Skype has over 650 million registered users and 40 million users on during peak times.
