Today, finally: EBay names Silverman chief executive of Skype.And he presents himself on the Skype Blog: A few words from Skype's incoming CEO. Here some bits of his phrases:
- On March 24, I’ll step aboard
- one of the most rapidly-adopted technologies in human history
- With my wife and kids about to begin their adventure in Estonia
- I don’t yet have the right to expect your enthusiastic two thumbs up. But as we go further on this journey together, I plan to earn it.
- March 24? This means this is a well planned move
- Let Skype be modest: it isn’t a new technology (P2P existed, and phoning through the computer was already possible before with MSN for instance), therefore i restate: Skype is one of the most rapidly adopted software in recent history, and it will probably NOT enter human history like the boomerang or the steam machine!
- Aha, he moves with his family to Estonia … therefore headquarter stays in Europe!
- I like the last phrase: it seems he is modest, but he is ambitious, and has plans (or will still make them) for the long term.
- Probably Skype will not be sold in the near future (i am quite surprised, i thought it would).
- It is good to see a CEO make comments on the company blog, and apparently he plans to continue to do this: therefore, thumbs up!

Interesting that he's moving to Estonia? Wonder what's going to happen with the current London HQ?
I believe this is a good move: it is there that they created Skype and there that they still develop the software!
