1 out of 177 people on this planet was running a Skype client on his computer or mobile device

39 million people online today !

Quite amazing growth the last weeks. In less than one month Skype added 6 million concurrent people online! Never seen such a growth!
As Steve Schoen from Hawaii noticed, with a world population of 7,003,003,370 this means that 1 out of 177 people on this planet was running a Skype client on his computer or mobile device (with 39.5 million people online some minutes ago!). Of course, some are running more than one account at the same time, like I often do, but I guess this is a minority!

Your post prompted me to see how many people are on-line with Skype right now. Skype no longer appears to offer that information. Or it's hidden somewhere.
