It appears that Yahoo! answers is currently running into some issues. But for all you Yahoo! Answers junkies dont get too worked up. The Answers team are on it and checking in on things. Here is quote from the blog post:

Hey, everyone –

As you may know from the occasional “we’re taking a breather/coffee break” messages, we have been experiencing some glitches recently on Yahoo! Answers. We’re working on the problem now and hope to have it fixed soon.

We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.

Just as the headline reads folks. The Yahoo! Music store is now shutting the doors. It is urging its customers to burn their purchased music to CD. Which for all of you that have paid for this service, i would suggest doing that pronto!! You wont be able to share music either, from what I understand however they will be teaming up with Rhapsody. Which I don’t know why, they could have gone for a better situation if you ask me. Rhapsody. seriously.. gross..

Here is the e-mail that the Yahoo! Music store team sent out:

Yahoo for some reason or another has brought back @rocketmail and has also added @ymail to their service. Rocketmail has been around forever and went away for a little while. Maybe it is just some sort of marketing ploy to say hey come look at what we brought back.

In any account you can create names with @rocketmail and sign into yahoo messenger with them. So for all you elite name types, go create some new ids before they are gone. Here is the post from the Yahoo Messenger Blog regarding the new Yahoo! IDs.

Has the messenger team pulled the plug for the 7.1 version of messenger? I am getting reports from various sources, that they simply can not login to the messenger service.  I remember reading that Yahoo! will be dropping support for older clients, in a push to get people on the new 9.0 beta or the vista beta.

Co-founder Jerry Yang made a blog post on Yahoo! official blog basically stating that Yahoo! will start to move in a new direction. And with this direction it appears that Yahoo! will be merging the not so popular 360 platform to a more integrated profile. In my opinion it is seriously about time,they started to merge the other various Yahoo! properties together, especially those concerning the Yahoo! community.

I would love to see them expand their profile to encompass Answers and even their new social networking platform Mash which is still in private beta. Although I do have a Mash account I have not really used it, the idea of letting other people mess with your page is the only real drawback for me on it (although I believe you can stop that.)

This is what was posted on the 360 blog:

The Yahoo messenger team has rolled out some bug fixes for the chat problems, and information disclosure bug. Although to some extent, I think it was more relevant showing registration info than profile info, but that’s just me. Read below for the official word from Yahoo, courtesy of Sarah Bacon.

Over the past year, Yahoo! has come under some serious fire for letting their chat rooms go to hell. The public chat rooms are now rampant with bots. I challenge you to enter a chat room and not find a single bot.

In hopes to combat this very serious problem Yahoo! has been working on their backend. They recently installed some patches and fixes for the join room times. These fixes for the most part wen’t well. Joining a chatroom is now quicker than ever but now you can’t really enter the room you want to enter, you get bumped to another available room in the same category.
This certainly puts a damper on your chat experience especially if you are like me and visit a single room and generally stay in that room. Yahoo! is working on a fix and is still working on more updates regarding the bot problem.
