Breakfast briefing: Skype sells up while the NFL takes on Twitter

• Plenty of chatter today about eBay's deal to sell 65% of Skype to private investors. Over at PaidContent, they have some more information on how the purchase breaks down, while Om Malik says eBay shareholders should be mad that it's selling for so little.

• America's National Football League has told players and officials that they can't use Twitter during games, reports the AP.
No mention of it on the NFL's official Twitter account - perhaps no surprise - but some players, including Cincinnati Bengals player Chad Ochocinco, are more than a little irritated by it.

• Since Andy Baio's Waxy blog pointed me in the direction of a neat little one-button running game called Canablt, I've spent rather too much time playing it. Now you can too!
