Thanks for the nice birthday gift — seven million people online

By My status Jaanus on August 29, 2006 in News, events, milestones.

While we keep celebrating our birthday and you keep sending us cards, another great thing happened just today.

For the first time ever, more than seven million people were online. If only for a brief moment. You should all see the 7M in your Skype software over the coming days.

Thanks for the gift, all you seven million. Good timing :-)

Will we ever know what happened?
Tomorrow - well today for me - 7.25 million?
