A recent report from PC Pitstop reveals that Skype is a clear winner among telephony services among those who use PC Pitstop's service. A company spokesperson said, "Over the past 12 months we have analyzed the installed software of over 2 million PCs. Our analysis details the amazing growth of Skype."
A PDF file of the full report can be viewed online (http://www.pcpitstop.com/research/softrvid-0611.pdf). Page 9 shows the eBay toolbar is not as popular among PC Pitstop users as those from Google, Yahoo and AOL, while Page 10 shows eBay's Skype is the clear leader in terms of installed base among PC Pitstop users.
The Methodology for the research can also be found online (http://www.pcpitstop.com/research/methodology.asp), where the company says the data it generates is statistical and does not identify specific users.
