Skype Is Back, But Some Features Are Still Broken

Skype has finally recovered from yesterday’s extended crash, according to the company’s CEO, but several features remain offline.

“We’ve been able to successfully stabilize Skype () due to the dedicated supernodes deployed by Skype’s engineering team. We’re at roughly 90 percent of normal user volumes,” Skype CEO Tony Bates announced in a blog post.

But while Skype’s video, audio and IM capabilities are fully operational, its Group Video Calling and offline IM features are still down for the count. Skype didn’t lay out a time frame for their return.
Bates says that the company now knows what caused Skype to kick the bucket for over 24 hours. He didn’t elaborate on the specific cause (it promises to post an analysis of what happened soon), but states that it was not caused by a malicious attack.

To make up for the extended downtime, Skype will be issuing vouchers for 30 free minutes of landline calling to all of its Pay As You Go and Pre-Pay users. It’s the company’s first step in what will likely be an arduous process to regain user trust.

Google Me, which was supposed to see it before the end of the current year is still a mystery baffles many people, while some think it will be a response on Google facebook but that the statements of Google's former says that Google Mai is just a social class of the Google services are currently available which did not help much on the Understanding What Google Mi.

Time ever next will be in March or April of 2011 (that is, if you do not get more delays) and, if true, the information obtained by the source, the reason for the delay is that a lot of development teams different from many parts of Google is working on this product, which is difficult follow-up process development according to plan standard.

Will we see anything worth mentioning in 2011 from Google or is it that the company would re-recurrence of what happened with the Wave.
