Don’t hold your breath for Skype
If you’ve been holding your breath for Skype, then you’ve probably turned the same colour as their logo by now.
If you’re a frequent user of Skype then you will have noticed problems logging on in during the last 24 - 48 hours. It’s not just you! But the problem lies within the Skype network. In their own words “This problem occurred because of a deficiency in an algorithm within Skype networking software.” Make of that what you will. But it looks like someone wrote some bad code. Oops.
Thankfully, the guys at Skype have literally been working through the night, last night to get it fixed. And then have been sending regular updates to the community through their Heartbeat blog.
It looks like the network is starting to come back online. So take a deep breath and you should be Skyping again before long.
