Anger over Yahoo outage
Talkback You say "some" users in "U.S.and Europe" were affected. I beg to suggest it was ALL (YMessenger) users, EVERYWHERE, for approximately 9 hours. Can you find ANYONE who COULD still access YM during this time ?

Talkback Ditto . Can't see the problem. I have a gmail.com address as well and have not been at all confused by it. If Google had to give up the gmail.com domain then fair enough but as they have it and it is valid, why is there supposed to be a problem...
