eBay to buy Skype for $2.6bn

The deal is worth $4.1bn overall since a $1.5bn additional payment is planned later if target are met. Read all about it here and here. It will create "an unparalleled e-commerce and communications engine".

I don't know how many shares did the two co-founders had but my guess is that they will enter the Fortune 1000 list next year. Well done!
