Skype Down Again, "For Small Subset Of People"

Skype Down http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
The multi Billion dollar Microsoft purchase seem to affect Skype, at least according to Skype users on Twitter. Skype of course is telling, as always, it is a small subset of users.
The last message from the Skype Heartbeat is that they have sign in issues but other components are working;

We are continuing to address today's problems, and are seeing indications that the situation is improving.

If you were disconnected from Skype earlier, you shouldn't need to manually sign back in to Skype - it should reconnect automatically when it's able to do so.

We apologise for the disruption to your conversations.

Well I hope this will not be like the last December Skype outage, (Supernode failure) there are too many users who depends on the service.
If you are affected, keep on monitoring the Skype heartbeat.
