The fact that it wasn't going to win the contest ought to have been obvious to anyone who actually used skype.
Their android app was a horror story. There desktop app was ho hum, chat reminded me of icq and it was completely obvious that the major players were going to be people who had hip social networks or were well positioned like say google with all android users and apple with all iphone users.
Skype was a tool to talk to grandma and I didn't forget the fact that they tied the number of people in a group chat to less than 10 if you didn't use an intel processor and resolution to buying a logitech camera.
Turns out even grandma has a facebook account now in fact she had one when lunatics decided it was a good idea to buy skype.
