I never imagined Skype services would ever face the problem and I had never thought that it would ever be out of service for more than 24 hours. Well I am wrong this time. They have been updating their service and currently the services are down for a while. I am in Nepal and it is currently around 2 a.m. and well it won’t be a problem for us here as it is nighttime and most of the people
here must be asleep but I am just thinking of those people who are in Europe and mostly in United States who are having daytime. They must be having a lot of trouble with the Skype services as I am sure most of the people these days use Skype for communication. Even lots of businesses runs through it’s services.
Usually my friends here and I used to have voice chat conversation through Skype as well but today we are being unable to do that. Though there are lots of other communication methods, we prefer Skype as the services it provides are just awesome. I wonder what kind of changes will they make after this service down. Skype heartbeat has made statement that Skype is on the road to recovery and Skype that is stabilizing and the this process may continue throughout the day. Like thousands of the Skype users, I am too waiting for the recovery of Skype. I hope their services will be even more better and advanced with the recovery of this Skype system down.

While Skype was OUT, one of my business associates suggested another similar app – DAMAKA. (http://www.damaka.com). I downloaded it and we ave been using it since. We both like it a lot. Simple and easy to use, packed with a lot of features. I love the conferencing – the fact that I can do video conferencing (for free) is really cool. We were actually paying for VIDEO Conferencing from another company, but after we found damaka, we will save more than $45 per month. (Just on video alone). Really cool!!!
Make sure you go to their features page to see how they can save you money:
