Skype.com is a real Mover & Shaker

Skype.com website has captured the first spot in web usage tracking service Alexa.com's Movers & Shakers list. According to them we have jumped from 233rd overall position to 126th spot (in terms of weekly traffic) in a matter of one week. Everybody involved with our website is pretty happy about it. Especially since we just launched our new navigation theme (check out that super-useful footer) couple of days ago.
Geoffrey Mack from Alexa.com has dedicated a post to Skype's good growth and compared it to Vonage traffic (check out that graph):
Where was I? Oh, yes Skype. Just for flavor, I added vonage on the graph. You can see that Vonage, despite millions spent on television advertising (I can't get that damn hill-billy vonage song out of my head "woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo") is virtually flat, while skype has more than doubled its user base.
There's more interesting Skype website traffic information over at Alexa's site, just remember that this is not official Skype.com traffic statistics. You can read more about Alexa.com and how it collects its data.
