Thanks to a lot of generous Skype users who voted for us in the Communications category of CNET's Webware 100 awards last year, the results gave us reason to smile.

Since then, a lot has happened. Japan, for example, has launched Kizuna, an experimental satellite that will bring low-cost 1.2gbps downloads (and spiffy uploads) to Japan and parts of South-East Asia. Not bad.

But Skype hasn't sat still either, launching High Quality Video, the 3 Skypephone, squeezing itself into the new Sony Mylo, the Sony PSP Slim & Lite, and is finding other cool ways to land in people's pockets. And yesterday, we announced the latest feature: a brand new CEO who will join us on March 24.

What I mean to say is this: if you think we've still got the mojo after 4.5 years and 100bn Skype-to-Skype minutes, you can now vote for us for Webware 100 in 2008.

Thanks!
