Subject: Skype experiences global outage
By Tim Conneally, Betanews
Popular voice chat and IM client Skype has been down for a large portion of
Wednesday morning, leaving users unable to connect to their peers.
At about 1pm EST, Skype's official Twitter account said, "Our engineers and
site operations team are working non-stop to get things back to normal --
thanks for your continued patience."
Individual reports vary, with some users reporting the ability to connect to
the service on their mobile devices, but with no buddies showing up on their
contact lists, with still others reporting a total inability to launch the
Skype client without it crashing.
Users of Skype on all platforms are reporting trouble, and it looks to be
affecting millions of users. The company has not given a projection for when it
expects to have the problem remedied, but the issue does not affect all users
of the popular service.
