Google Adds Mobile and Landline calls to Chat

As of my birthday (3rd of Aug) Google has added a "Call phones from Gmail" feature to google chat.

Can anyone say "goodbye skype!"?

What most would consider the final advantage of Skype now has been matched and the proliferation of google chat into google plus only means less reason to boot up the slow and cumbersome dinosaur that Skype now is.

Skype, thanks for the good times but it looks like goodbye.
Microsoft, good luck
Google, well played
