Skypes Story: Who not to invest with.

Here is a little follow up to my last post about Skype.  It appears the people involved in the purchasing of Skype are dumber than I first thought.  They bought Skype thinking they were getting one of the leaders in p2p voip today and really all they got was the application.  Not only did they not buy the intellectual property, they didn’t even get the source. So what can they do to enhance and build upon the current Skype solution? Change the logo, maybe?  They better check with the trademarks office first, maybe they didn’t even get that!

So get a list of all the people involved in these transactions (on the buying side) and never, ever invest with those people.
