On February 22, 2008.
Skype’s 276 million registered users around the world have now talked with one another for more than 100 billion minutes (100,000,000,000) using free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls since Skype launched in 2003.
This mind-boggling number equates to one minute of free talk for every man, woman and child that has ever walked the Earth!
To put this into further perspective, Skype has only been in business for about 4.5 years (approximately 2,365,200 minutes). Yet people have used Skype to talk for more than 69,444,444 days (more than 190,258 years). Go back 150,000 years, if a woolly mammoth and a sabre-toothed tiger had started talking for free on Skype, they would still be chatting away today… and with 40,258 years to go!
It took McDonald’s nearly 40 years to serve 100 billion hamburgers (from 1955 to 1994). And it’s taken Skype just over four years to hit the 100 billion free minutes mark which is pretty amazing!
