Google planning to buy Skype from e-bay ? :-)

If this rumor becomes true, users of Google will be very happy. :) Actually this could be win win situation for both companies.

Google may be acquiring Skype from eBay, which has been very vocal about its displeasure with its Skype acquisition and properly monetizing the communication monster beyond Paypal payments via SkypeOut.

A merging of GMail and Skype would also probably open up Skype chats to GMail tracking (Skype’s IM is one of the cleanest in the industry) which would lead to Google ‘monitoring’ and monetizing our IM conversations like they do with GMail.

Lets hope for the best. :)
