So while I was doing some searching up for images of the Yahoo! Messenger logo for reference (it was for a logo I was going to whip up for one of my pals), Google offered me some somewhat unrelated news stories. The first one that caught my eye, however, was relating to AIM Phoenix. I clicked on it and the title was not joking. It WAS about AIM Phoenix.

I also found some more sites covering this now-hot topic, so I'll lay 'em all here:

I'm actually surprised the AIM server is handling all these people to be honest

surprisingly well, but we are already discussing ways to refactor the software to be ready for bigger numbers.

Good thinking. All of us would rather not deal with unhappy users who were expecting a stable and reliable server, disregarding the fact that the server's still in alpha.
