wow, looks great! I am looking forward to WebRTC support (it is on their roadmap for Q2 2014 as it seems).

it sounds as if AOL mail offered one year of increased storage when Google introduced Gmail.

Another commenter mentioned jitsi which is free. Then, there is Google Hangouts. Why does Skype think it can get away with charging money for Skype to Skype calls, even multiparty?
