As we know Skype was out of service for ~36 hours last week. Well it's back now and we just received a tip that the newest release now contains heavy product ads. There have been small ads for a while now, but these new ads are bigger and bolder than before. It might be worth waiting to download for now. It this just the first step? Will we start to see eBay ads and others inside the Skype window? This is ultra-valuable real estate!

Here is an example:

Thanks for the tip Corsin.

Not sure on the answer (I would say it would be very beneficial to cross-advertise eBay's properties) - but that "what your kids look like" ad is hilarious.

Yay! More ads! Did anyone notice that when you purchase minutes over Skype, the screens looks like a phone contract already? Like a really shady one that is supposed to be so cheap, but really it is not?
