Skype

Have you ever used Skype? If yes, you will know how useful and practical this application is. Many people enjoy it everyday and some use it even for their work. But did you ever think about who we have to thank for this?

Skype was born in the Intracom facilities in Patras, where Telecommunication Software Development and other offices find place. It was invented by the university professor Konstantinos Psalidis with the help of his students in 2003. Soon bigger companies showed interest in their product and eBay bought it in 2005. Later facebook, Google and Microsoft wanted to call skype their own and a little race started. In the end Microsoft won and bought it in 2011. Since then they regularly uploaded newer versions and worked on it as a Microsoft subsidiary company.

 

Solution:

The story is half true. Skype was founded by the Swedish Niklas Zennström and the danish Janus Friis in Louxembourg. The software was created by the Estonians Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn.
