The Oprahfication of Skype!, Skype Video!!

Skype Journal tell me that a large website presenting an interactive web event to 500000 users had a heart attack! This got me thinking where did that heart came from. Certainly not from the Skype Video, they have not put their heart into it according to what I have heard and read so far.
So it has to be Oprah, who put the heart into that event. The following is a part of the statement released on Oprah.com.

"Chicago, IL— Monday night's webcast was one of the largest single online events in the history of the Internet. More than 500,000 people simultaneously logged on to watch Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle live, resulting in 242 Gbps of information moving through the Internet. Unfortunately, some of our users experienced delays in viewing the webcast. We are working to identify the specific causes for the problems experienced and will work diligently to rectify them."

So I think now that you got interested, read the account of the episode, as told by Jim Courtney of the skype journal, He actually watched the show, I did not!
