Skype is a leading global Internet communications company with over 44 million registered users. The acquisition of Skype by eBay would accelerate eBay's expansion into e-commerce by removing communication friction between buyers and sellers. Skype also represents a great standalone business with strong growth in Internet-based calling and an opportunity to monetize new categories and marketplaces through features like "Pay Per Call."
eBay is the largest online marketplace that allows buyers and sellers to conduct auction-style and fixed-price sales. Founded in 1995, eBay has grown significantly and now has almost 1 billion users worldwide. However, eBay faces challenges from competitors breaking into online classified markets with free services. Potential solutions for eBay include making more acquisitions in the online classified space, expanding further globally, and incorporating PayPal into other sites to maintain its competitive advantage in the e-commerce industry.

Here’s one really good reason: category creators tend to grow revenue 4x faster and grow market cap 6x faster than those companies that enter a category later on.
Based on Mark’s experience building marketing automation category creator Eloqua, what he’s learned so far as Influitive (http://influitive.com) carves out a brand new category – advocate marketing – a little over a decade later, and his observations on why other powerful category creators, including Salesforce.com, Tesla and Keurig, have been so successful, his presentation proposes a whole new framework for category creation.
