Nimbuzz growing even without Skype

According to Nimbuzz, since July of 2010, they have more than 28 million new users joined their network. That amounts equals to 100,000 new peoples for every 24 hours and they’ve doubled in size in year to 50 million users.

Even with Skype integration removed, Nimbuzz still supports Facebook, Yahoo, Windows Live, Google Talk, AIM, and others. So it’s still a popular mobile VoIP and instant messaging app that I am using myself.

It does a good job of consolidating all your various IM / VoIP networks into a single mobile application. I do hope that Microsoft, the new owners of  Skype, will change their minds and allow apps like Nimbuzz or fring (who also pushed by Skype to overboad) to connect to the Skype network.
