Skype just crossed over 27 million simultaneous users online!
January 10, 2011
Not bad considering that the company just crossed over 25,000,000 back in late November and then had the massive outage at the end of December! In fact, I don't remember seeing Skype cross over the 26 million mark...
Congrats to Skype for hitting this milestone!
UPDATE: After Hudson Barton mentioned that the previous high number for online users was under 26 million, Neil Lindsey pointed me to the online chart of Skype users over the past 7 days, which shows that the count flirted with 26 million but did not cross it yesterday:
The 40-hour chart shows the climb in greater detail:
So Skype crossed over the 26 million mark AND the 27 million mark today! Not a bad day for Skype!
P.S. And yes, since Skype is the only source for these numbers, they could be completely making them up. However, I know (and trust) enough folks there to assume the numbers are accurate.
