There are too many chefs in the kitchen at the mega sites like Yahoo, AOL and MSN. Those services are just a big mess.
This will fail just like Yahoo's 360 service that was supposed to compete with MySpace.

Everything fell to pieces after they dropped the user created rooms. That disbanded a ton of longtime rooms and the users didn't make the move to the standard rooms. They just left.
If Yahoo were smart they would have taken the high traffic user created rooms and made similar room names for permanent use after the change. But there was no effort at all to keep chatters on board.
Then of course the spam bots filled the rooms up shortly after that and sealed the Yahoo Chat coffin.
