Seems Skype Has Lost Their User Loyalty Since The Purchase

Skype just released a blog post about their issues with Fring. http://blogs.skype.com/en/2010/07/fring.html

I think the more important thing that has come out of this blog post are the comments. People are saying things like:

“Skype seems to be damaging its brand without any assistance from Fring.”

and:

“about time people realised there are other voip options than skype anyway”

It seems like ebay’s purchase of Skype really took away its indie-developer feel, especially since the people at Skype haven’t been communicating anything going on with development. Seems like they lost any user loyalty. Not that people don’t enjoy their product, just the loyalty they once had, especially from the early adopters, is gone.
