The Resume

    Created by Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallin
    Internet application used for making voice calls over the internet

Why Skype might be annoying:

    One of the initial names for the project was 'Sky peer-to-peer,' which was then abbreviated to 'Skyper.'
    Many websites had the domain name of 'Skyper,' forcing the creators to settle on Skype.
    It is the epitome of Big Brother.
    The site crashes if the traffic on the website increases.
    Users may have more than one account, and it is not possible to identify users with multiple accounts.

Why Skype might not be annoying:

    You can communicate to family or friends from almost anywhere in the globe.
    Starting in 2008, contestants on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' could use a lifeline to communicate with an 'expert' to help them answer a question.
    It has become the largest international voice carrier.
    Its creators were listed as part of 'TIME' magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World (2006).
