I still don't understand why eBay hasn't leveraged eBay, Skype and Paypal into something like WeChat.


Microsoft bought Skype, and Paypal is independent now.


Indeed. Yet they had everything in their hands to create something big. With their accounts and profiles, they could even have become something like Facebook.

I am fascinated by how many key technologies they had without those parts being integrated into something bigger than their sum.
