The company also described its expanded vision of the future, outlining a multi-brand strategy to accelerate growth in its current businesses and gain share in new addressable markets.Įxecutives demonstrated how the continued focus on innovation enables each of the company's flagship brands - eBay, PayPal, and Skype - to grow as standalone businesses, participate in larger markets, and create entirely new ones. San Jose, Calif., eBay Inc., (Nasdaq: EBAY today held its annual financial analyst conference in San Jose, California, during which the company highlighted the fundamental strength of its three businesses: Marketplaces, Payments, and Communications. Outlines Global Business Strategy at 2006 Analyst Conference In any event, here's the synopsis of the financial analyst conference - lots of hype you will see:ĮBay Inc. Until then, this is more like Naked Gun 2 1/2. When eBay provides this kind of integration, then I'll agree with their statement that there is "synergy between the three". They've owned Skype long enough to be able to do this, so why the long delay? You'd think several billion dollars in Skype's pockets would give them enough cash to hire developers to get the show on the road.
I think eBay would be smart to start offering Skype integration on the U.S. But seriously, you don't hear too much about Skype buttons on international eBay sites. In fact they do display SkypeMe buttons in listings on several international eBay sites, but who cares about the international market? Doesn't eBay know that the U.S. Sure, eBay is in the early stages of this. I still can't go to eBay, look up an auction listing and see the seller's Skype status to initiate a call to the seller.
They talk about the synergies between the three (eBay, Paypal, Skype), but to me Skype is still the odd man out right now.
Skype passed 100 million users, Paypal is integrated with eBay, blah blah blah. A lot of what was detailed is stuff we already know.
Yesterday eBay detailed what was talked about at their annual financial analyst conference in San Jose.
