In what seems
to be an unrelated incident to the current Yahoo! outage, the popular site
MySpace.com is experiencing "power outages" and is not available.
A posting on the
only visible page on MySpace states:
"MySpace.Com -
Undergoing Maintenance
hey everyone!
there's been a power outage in our data center. we're in the process of
fixing it right now, so sit tight. -Tom"
Included on the
page is a Pacman game, to keep the millions of MySpace users entertained.
Yahoo! in recent
days has experienced a massive outage, primarily involving the Instant
Messenger and Email services. An earlier article on Chatmag News is available
for more detailed information regarding Yahoo!
Update 2:10am
East Coast Time.
MySpace.com is
still down. Some reports suggest MySpace.com is disabling all third party
scripts, the scripts that further personalize individual MySpace user pages.
In recent weeks, a small industry has sprung up, offering various add ons
to MySpace.com users.
