EBay is in talks to acquire Internet-telephony company Skype Technologies for $2 billion to $3 billion, in a deal that would represent a dramatic shift in strategy for the world's largest online auction site, reports the WSJ.

It's a done deal now apparently.
Here's the eBay page announcing it.
And here's the news on the Skype site.
It should be good and will make a lot more people aware of what skype is.
Someday soon I will post about my family's recent explosion in Skype usage since I moved to NYC.
