Skype is down for more than 12 hours

,,,

Skype was down, suffering the worst outage to the popular VOIP service provider since 2007. Skype's outage affected millions of users around the world for several hours, Skype confirmed in a statement. Skype is slowly coming back to normal, lthough not yet 100%.

An hour ago, Skype had this message on its Twitter feed. Skype apologized to users for the unexpected outage and suggested the service is still working to get all its users back online.

Skype said the outage occurred due to a lack of supernodes in certain version of Skype -- although a p2p service, Skype relies on what it calls 'supernodes' to establish communication between your PC and a phone. And Skype said it's working on solving the problem.
