Skype is Back Up! Well, off and on…
Skype is up again! Well, it is fluctuating on and off but it appears to be getting there. Skype Heartbeat issued this statement at 2:15am GMT saying essentially that they are working on the problem and feel they are making progress (could they say any less and still issue a statement?).
I’m going to bed and hopefully it will be good to go tomorrow morning. And I do have to say that I think Skype is in general a very reliable piece of software. I can’t remember it going down before. But the problem is that so many people rely so heavily on Skype now that Skype going down is like losing your entire phone service.
I got an email from someone who said that their business phones were run completely through Skype and they are having to try to contact people (and be contacted by people) completely through email until this gets resolved. But I’m betting it will be fixed when I get up (fingers crossed).
And if people doubt that Skype is a major player and extremely important to people, just because of my posts on Skype being down, My first Skype post was #27 on the Top Posts on WordPress.com today and my All Things Web 2.0 blog was #5 in the WordPress.com list of fastest growing blogs. Ah, the fame! It will be back to reality tomorrow though 
So Thank You Skype for that, anyway

Here are even more tips, tricks and bargains for the Las Vegas Strip. There is more transportation information, Dining and Drinking, free and interesting things to do, good websites and more.
First, a note on asking for room upgrades. Ask if they have any complimentary upgrades. That means you are asking for a free upgrade. Otherwise they will probably just tell you the cost to upgrade, which may be… Continue reading
Since we are leaving next week for Vegas, I thought I would share some tips, tricks, discounts, websites, etc that I have picked up while planning this trip.
Airfare:
By checking Travelocity, Airfarewatchdog and other airfare sites, I ended up getting very good priced tickets: $254 air from Dayton (+taxes, $601 for 2). We will take carryons only = no charge. We live in Fort Wayne, but I… Continue reading

Skype is definately not running in the United States. I dont own a business but I rely on Skype for all my phone calling. I was able to deal with skype being down one day but now.. to go well over 24 hours .. is ridiculous. I too had a few brief periods where skype was up .. then immediately went back down. So far this am .. nothing. They are being very tight lipped about what has happened and when it will be entirely fixed. Looks like Skype may be losing customers if this keeps up which is unfortunate. Until now I was pretty impressed with Skype. Now.. I am becoming frustrated and impatient.

I was getting quite a few reports of this. Did you see the reports today that it was caused by a bug in Microsoft’s monthly Windows update? I didn’t do an update, so I’m not buying it, unless the problem was on Skype’s end.
Did you do an update before this happened to you?
