Why is Microsoft buying Skype?Well, apparently each one of us subscribed to Skype is worth $1,000 to Microsoft according to its $8.5 billion acquisition of Skype (pending regulatory approval).
What does this acquisition signal if we don't just suggest it was to stop anyone else buying them? Microsoft's history of large acquisitions is not earmarked by Brand Permanence of anyone save Microsoft - see a run-down here. Was this therefore a defensive or aggressive move? Who is the enemy? And what does this mean to you or me? Sites of interest this month I put this site live in early May and Mike and Jonathan seem to be very pleased with it. I now need to play catch-up with Mike's other websites to bring them up to the same look and feel, integrate the navigation and catch up with other product news.   Flying in France
 It has been a year since I remodelled Sue's site(s) to split out the three different businesses she had into three separate sites and integrate with her very successful blog. Well with a year's experience and market feedback (some of which was very, very useful), I did a major update to the home page contents in May and also simplified the navigation and de-cluttered the overall look and feel of the Flying in France site. A great improvement.  |
