Reason Behind Yahoo’s “Server Hangup”

Written on October 15, 2010 by B Waldorf

Awhile ago, Yahoo declared "Server Hangup" on their homepage. Users were left dumbfounded. We don't know what's the reason behind this drama, better be alert with whatever is coming.

Yahoo, noted as one of the sites in the world that has most traffic, was down last 5:40 PM. The homepage noted a text saying “Server Hangup” in the browser. But, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo News and Yahoo Finance were perfectly working that time.

It just seemed add that this event coincided with Google’s announcement of its massive earnings and a day after the rumor came up that AOL is buying Yahoo. Thinking about it, there might be something going on in here. Whatever Yahoo is up to, the company better release its official statement.

Let’s just wait and see where this event is going.

[UPDATE] The regular streaming resumes by 6:10 PM.
