Post-mortem on the Skype outage (skype.com)
4 points by Uncle_Sam on Dec 29, 2010 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment



Skype just sent an email with the above link and a "credit voucher worth a call of more than 30 minutes to a landline in some of our most popular countries, such as USA, UK, Germany, China, Japan. Or spend it however you like on Skype."

I redeemed it and it was $1.

Seriously? They expect me to think that that major disruption was only worth $1 of my time?

I use Skype for language exchange and if I had paid for the same service locally I'd have spent a lot more than $1.

I'd be less insulted if they had just apologized and given no money.
