We all know that eBay vastly over-paid for the Skype acquisition. With eBay's value being depressed and increased competition for the once darling of the internet stocks, I am willing to bet that they will look for a cash infusion by selling Skype.

This prediction is that eBay will sell Skype to Google by the end Q2 2008.

Looks like Bastian S. beat me to the punch on this one. We must have been posting at the same time. I am open to removing the prediction as I do not wish to tread on any toes or let the prediction stand as it has a different end date (my June vs. Bastian's May). I will leave that up to The Standard and the community. No harm intended, I assure you.


What's funny, Allan, is that our editors placed their own prediction around this at nearly the exact same time both of you guys did. They went with a really aggressive time-table, too.
