More stories are surfacing regarding Yahoo problems, but there is still no official announcement from Yahoo as far as I know.
I am being informed that major problems are hitting quite a few major websites today.
Digg.com is having various problems and a buzz is definitely starting to form in comments and articles from Diggers. Diggers are claiming many timeout sessions, votes not updating properly, articles not uploading properly and various other annoyances.
CNN.com users have also complained about CNN not performing properly today. CNN has gone through a major upgrade regarding the website design, so these may just be associated with these tweaks.
I'm still waiting for more information regarding these problems, but they are starting to seem more related. Stories regarding trojan problems in Yahoo and MSN, on top of the claims of Digg, CNN, Flickr and other website users experiencing problems are definitely creating a stir today.
If anyone out there is experiencing problems atypical of your usual web surfing experiences, feel free to leave a comment and let us know.
I'm screening all comments, but I will check often and allow relevant replies to be posted.

Yahoo Down - Users Experiencing Yahoo Problems
While combing through the latest Google Trends, I noticed a few terms related to Yahoo down. A quick visit to Yahoo.com was successful, but there are many that have been complaining in various forums the past few hours.
It seems that some users are experiencing Yahoo problems with services such as Yahoo IM, Flickr, Yahoo news, Upcoming, and the main Yahoo home page. Reported Yahoo problems are ranging from severe lag to 12 hour outages of all services for some users. I haven't tried all of the services, but as I said, the home page is working fine for me.
User reports of Yahoo problems are indicating that servers in the U.S. are having major problems as well as major problems in China servers for over 12 hours. There is no official report from Yahoo regarding the reported problems yet.
Users are speculating about a virus that hit Yahoo and Hotmail mail services earlier, as well as even attempting to throw iPhone problems into the mix. These early responses are only the beginning of many hypotheses that are sure to surface over the next few hours and days.
I'm definitely keeping my eye on this and will try out a few other Yahoo services to see if I encounter any Yahoo problems.
