Normalcy breaks out! 6 million Skypers online!
I've been updating the One million Skypers back online post with snapshots of the crash and recovery from Thursday through the weekend. You can view the flickr set as slideshow.
The latest: The number of connections went up to six million, fell to 4 overnight, then went back up to six million as Europe came online. It's refreshing to see normal network behavior, even if the peaks are smaller than usual.
Hello friends,
Take a deep breath. Skype is back to normal.
On Monday, we’ll provide a more detailed explanation of what happened. Until then, we’d like to apologize and thank you. Precisely in that order.
We know how difficult and frustrating the past two days have been. And still, your good wishes kept flowing in. Thank you for the amazing patience, trust and support!

The connected people falling to 4 million is indeed almost normal. In the previous week, in the Friday to Saturday night the lowest moment was 4.3 million!

just for the record : I have put www.skype-watch.com and www.skype-gadgets.com back online. since now there was something interesting happening in the skypecloud, apart from the endless amount of skype extra's... and new emoticons :)
