TechCrunch Interviews (The Very Happy) Skype CEO Josh Silverman

Skype CEO Josh Silverman can't stop smiling in this video interview we recorded in Menlo Park this morning. And no wonder - despite serious legal and spinoff drama , Silverman has managed to close his multi-billion dollar spinoff of Skype from eBay. His legal troubles have evaporated . Skype is growing like a weed. And he's managed to keep his job running the business. Life is good. All he has to do now is manage board meetings with two of the more forceful personalities on the planet - new investor Marc Andreessen and cofounder/new investor Niklas Zennstrom . Well, that and keep this train on the tracks . Skype has exploded to over half a billion users, and is adding 300,000 new ones every day, Silverman says in the interview. 1/3 of usage is video, despite the fact that video calls can only be 1-1. Voice calls are multi-party. And revenue is cruising along at $185 million/quarter with 24.2% margins. Up to 20 million people are using Skype at any one time. Full video is below:
