Skype

Skype is one of the few messengers to survive after a boom of messengers like ICQ, MSN, Viber, Wattsapp, Telegram and Hangout. The reason is that Skype was immediately available for mobile and laptop. It is also a heavier program that immediately had all the features needed to use Skype in business instead of the telephone.

Microsoft Bought Skype

After Microsoft bought Skype, it was further developed to today's standards and became part of Microsoft's regular offering. Still a visionary Bil Gates, but yes competition is lurking in Wattsapp and Hangout. The life of Hangout depends on what Google will ultimately choose as its core business. Wattsapp is so well established that I am annoyed by all those Wattsapp groups, but yes, it is from Facebook. I can't wait to see what Facebook is developing next with aqcuiring also Instagram!

Databeet Reachable By Email, Sms, And X (formerly Twitter)

No Wattsapp, Telegram, HangOut, ICQ, MSN, Viber for me anymore. Skype: I closed my original account, but there is a free version that comes with Microsoft Office package, and I can't close this one :-). Why? Read my reasons in the blog about Reality Keeper! Databeet is reachable and complies with the law by having multiple means of communication: email, Sms, and X (formerly Twitter).
