Which one? The one that says "Skype Down" or the tabloid one that screams "Skype DOWN: Microsoft messenger and video chat app NOT working across the GLOBE"?

Twenty minutes ago it said "Skype down for some customers". Now both the HN title and the target website title has been edited.

http://isskypedown.com is actually a thing, and it should redirect to https://slack.com/pricing

Do we have any reason to assume Slack would do any better than Skype with respect to availability in the long term though?

You should really be looking at an on-premises solution if availability is really that much of a concern, in my own humble opinion.

I also introduced Slack to the team, and now we're not going back!
