To no one's surprise, Skype continues its cash generating ways. eBay's Q1 financial statement released Wednesday reveals the company continues to grow revenues, minutes and users.

There are a total of 443.2 million registered Skype users, with 37.9 million added during Q1 2009. Contrast that with collecting 35 million users during Q4 2008.
As for revenue-generating activity, the company had 2.9 billion Skype Out minutes in the quarter, averaging a little more than 6.5 minutes per user. The increase in minutes represents a 65 percent growth in billable activity on a year over year basis.
