I guess since announcing that Yahoo Japan is going to be moving over to Google’s search technology Yahoo US doesn’t have to be careful about maintenance planning & such. Immediately after the announcement from Tuesday afternoon Japan time until about Thursday morning we couldn’t see any new stats in Yahoo Search management’s interface. The system was still working we just couldn’t see how we were spending on client’s accounts. At the end of the month having this outage is just plain bad.
For the last two or three days Yahoo Japan’s Site Explorer is also in maintenance mode. Is it being updated, scrapped, are we wasting our time using it at all? It’s going to be rocky for companies this year. Technology, especially major technology platforms like this will certainly bring problems.
