Skype users spend 2 billion minutes online each day

Skype has just passed a new milestone symbolic VOIP service, which replaces Live Messenger, has announced that its users spend 2 billion minutes every day to communicate through the service.
While migration to Live Messenger Skype ends, service, acquired by Microsoft in 2011 for $ 8.5 billion, continues to be talked about. Today, Skype says from Mashable that its community of users daily passes 2 billion minutes of talk time, or the approximate time required for viewing movies or 16 million to travel from the Earth to the Moon 225000 times.


The platform says mobile use strong weighs in the balance, but nevertheless give a precise figure. Still, the growing use of Skype is easy to imagine since learned in February that the department had accumulated 167 billion minutes of calls in 2012. Given the numbers now advanced, this record will be soundly defeated in 2013, even if we say that two billion minutes daily also about party chat, not just audio and video communications.

Recovery of millions of users of Live Messenger, Skype pushed to the announcement of the closure of the instant messaging client, is probably no stranger to this situation. "Two billion minutes every day is a lot, but we believe the situation will develop further in the future," says a spokesman for Skype.
