Skype Died?

Is it me, or has use of skype really dipped?

Before christmas it was like Skype-mania!

Who still uses it on a frequent basis? I guess you just cant beat good old msn text converstations...

People do seem to be talking about it less and less, as you say before Christmas I would hear mention of it quite a lot..

I use Skype only for (video) calls, otherwise it's not that good as a IM.

Ever since they got rid of the "Call anywhere for free" bit, it started going downhill. I use to be crazy about it, but i'm not going to pay to call when I have my telephone right next to me and I don't have to pay for it.
