Microsoft Tossing Hat in Skype’s Ring?
Skype must feel like the belle of the ball having three suitors, all vying for its attention. Add one more to the jumbled mess that is corporate acquisitions; Microsoft is now reported to be interested in acquiring Skype. You have Facebook, Google and Microsoft all presenting offers to Skype to either buy it outright or become partners. That would have to be the best position a company could ever wish for.
However today's GigaOm report claims via its own sources that some kind of major deal will be announced by Skype sometime this week "perhaps as soon as Monday."
