Skype Down for Many UsersMillions affected as Skype goes down: Skype has explained today’s downtime on its blog, nothing that “Customers using the enterprise version of Skype for Windows may still experience delays signing in.”
Last month, Skype hit a new usage record, hosting 25 million people on its service concurrently, speaking to both the ubiquity of the service and the problem created when it goes down. Let’s just hope this doesn’t rival the Skype outage of 2007, which saw the service down for an extended period of time.
Update (3:20 p.m. ET): Skype has posted an update on its blog , assuring users that the service should return in “a few hours.”
