Just as we mentioned our [brand transition](http://share.skype.com/sites/en/2007/01/rip_akbar_speechbubbles_or_the.html), linking back to last year's [Brandchannel survey](http://share.skype.com/sites/en/2006/01/skype_is_3rd_in_a_global_brand.html), the [results from this year are in](http://www.brandchannel.com/start.asp?fa_id=352). Skype is seventh globally and second in Europe only after Ikea. There were 3,625 respondents to the survey globally, so this isn't really serious science, but still nice to know. We're individually mentioned still only Europe's top 10, so lots of catching up remains to do elsewhere.
