Well as if Yahoo! Messenger users weren't mad enough already, Yahoo! had an unfortunate power issue.

"We are performing maintenance on our systems due to an unplanned
power equipment issue at one of our third-party co-location facilities." - Yahoo Messenger Blog

Sadly it took Yahoo! just shy under 3 hours to get it fixed. This time though, I don't blame Yahoo! or Yahoo! Messenger for this mishap. I know the stresses this might have caused when the servers have issues.

Reading through the comments, I saw and felt anger through the comments. This really pissed off some usres. I personally didn't feel the brunt of it  because I was sleeping and counting sheep.

Do rest assured though, Yahoo! being a big company does have alot at stake. Making their users mad can cost them business. One thing I am still mad about though is that Yahoo! Messenger 9.0.0.2034, it is the buggiest Yahoo! Messenger 9 has ever been. Sadly enough, Yahoo! Messenger cut off the Vista version of Yahoo! Messenger. Vowing never bring it back...

Please give Yahoo! "some" slack. Don't burn down the Yahoo! headquarters, just convey your anger to how you use Yahoo! Messenger. This is probably the best advise I can give to all Yahoo! Messenger users.

Other alternatives to Yahoo! Messenger are Pidgin or Trillian
