I’ve had my laptop for 1 yr & use it for everything. I went to do a Skype interview- guess what won’t start up! So now I get to spend 1/2 of today @ the store diagnosing it & how much it’s gonna cost to fix instead of the day & a half I finally get to spend with my family. Cool.

@casas_jimmy I created an entire scenario that you needed our help. If we could Skype with you at some point to discuss the book before the end of the year my team would be thrilled!

@SkypeSupport I recorded a call via Skype on 2/25 and am now unable to download the video file, but I’m well within the 30 day window where you are able to download. Help would be appreciated.

@gnat I think it's because they're reallocated numbers with long histories of previous owners putting down their phone number everywhere. I've had a US Skype number for a decade and it still gets some rubbish (although not nearly as much)

My latest #Skype auto-update broke my login.. If you're on 8.39 build and can't login, go to the website and download build 8.40.. Login fixed! #MVPBuzz

So apparently, there was some big merger and Skype changed and I had to reinstall. Would have been nice to notify people or have skype auto update when I opened it instead of just giving me that useless error. I don't use skype daily, only every few months with my bff.

My new Directorate-General has no telephones - everything is done through Skype for Business. I arrived and found my PC doesn't have it, so I emailed the help desk to ask them to install it. The response was predictable. See if you can guess what it was. Answer tomorrow.

@virginmedia It’s down again now and, according to the @virginmedia recorded message , will be interrupted ‘for short periods’ until 6pm today. Pretty unhelpful, esp as I often use Skype to speak to interviewees abroad

I used to use @Skype daily. I haven't been able to open it for a year - keeps crashing. Their phone support can't help Mac users and their email address is experiencing "communication failures." A voice communication tool that can't do voice nor communicate...

@FarnworthAmy It was @Tony_Diver, sorry you couldn’t make it- I just happened to be working down south this weekend. We should have a Skype call! I remember your story, it was brilliant!
