How Skype Went from a Verb to Virtual Obscurity๐Ÿ“‰ Once a pioneer in internet calling, Skype made โ€œSkypingโ€ a global verb. Launched in 2003 and acquired by Microsoft in 2011 for $8.5 billion. It revolutionized online communication. But post-acquisition misstepsโ€”poor mobile adaptation, bloated redesigns, and clunky integrationsโ€”led to a steady decline. Competitors like WhatsApp, Zoom, and Teams outpaced it with better performance and user experience. During the COVID-19 boom, Skype missed its comeback moment. Microsoft gradually shifted focus to Teams, and now Skype is officially being discontinued in May 2025. From a communication giant to a digital ghost, Skype's fall is a classic tale of innovation lost through stagnation and mismanagement. for more such content consider following Thatmoonemojiguy ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‘‘.
