Andreesen continues to do interesting things. From his work on Ning, to his board positions on Facebook and eBay. Though the possible acquisition of Skype is being led by Silver Lake, Andreesen VC group Andreesen Horowitz is closely tied.

With the imminent arrival of Google Wave, does Skype represent a integration component for a complimentary or competitive offering? Facebook/Ning community functionality with Skype for the teleconferencing (if for business). And with the R&D dedicated in the Research Triangle Park and the surrounding universities on crunching data across spectrums, real-time full wall video interactions, etc., this kind of solution could be a forerunner in the evolution of doing business virtually. Or maybe, Skype technology just improves and works better with Facebook . . .
