Skype Acquires Qik for $100 Million [CONFIRMED] – Mashable
Qik’s userbase catapulted to 5 million users in 2010, up from 600,000 at the beginning of the year, thanks in part to partnerships with major telecom providers like T-Mobile.

I don’t use it more than Angry Birds, but that’s about the only other horse in the top–2 race.
As an aside, I love how Tony Bates has taken to video. With the Skypeocalypse last week and all the good news from CES, I’m seeing so much of Tony I’m developing a bit of a CEO crush on him.
