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 more than 24 hours. He didn't elaborate on the specific cause (Skype promises to post an analysis of what happened soon), but states that it was not caused by a malicious attack.
