Yahoo Down Because Of Server Hangup
Yahoo Down Because Of Server Hangup – The front page of Yahoo was down throughout the day. The news quickly made its way to the social networking websites, including Twitter, where Yahoo being down became a trending topic. It was the first time that the homepage of Yahoo had suffered downtime in more than a decade, leading some experts to speculate that something could be seriously wrong with the website. Luckily for Yahoo, who is currently in the middle of buyout discussions, they were able to identify the problem and get things running smoothly very quickly after the reports surfaced.
Most individuals who attempted to load the website received the “Connection Refused” error. Most of their subsidiary sites including their Yahoo mail program continued to work throughout the outage.
Yahoo posted a statement shortly after the outage was reported saying that they were looking into the issue and were aware that the site was down. It was not immediately clear what might have caused the outage, but Yahoo was able to respond quickly to the issue and get the site working again fairly quickly.
The outage must have looked bad because Yahoo has been rumored to be in the middle of buyout talks with AOL. Some joked that perhaps the site was coming down so that AOL could put their logo on it. Yahoo has not officially confirmed any buyout talks but rumors have continued to run rampant throughout the process, leading most to conclude that a buyout is something that Yahoo would at least be willing to discuss.

Is it down again??
Estava no meio de uma negociação o qual fazia necessário obter as informações dos meus emails e no momento paralizou tudo, causando-me um constrangimento face a interação de informações a serem dadas, lamentavelmente perdi a negociação face essa queda pontual do yahoo o que trouxe-me uma perda de R$ 27.500,00 referente o negócio previamente acordado.
Lamentavelmente face a esse incidente. Perdi um negócio de valor na ordem citada.
Abraço,
