My iMessage went down yesterday, it looks like its back up now. Wasn't too big of a deal but I can see how it can be very annoying especially when some of us only use iMessage and don't pay for text messaging on our wireless plans.

Was thinking the same thing. If they can't afford a few messages to be sent as normal texts then don't use a mobile phone >_<

iMessage outages are frequently. I think apple has some many issues, like maps, apple store, safari mobil and now iMessages, please Apple figure it out how to fix all this mess or you guys will see people leaving.

That's because apple has become more mainstream then ever before. More devices, more people. It's bound to take an effect on the servers. At least they were quick to recognize and solve the problem as quickly as they could. This happens to every tech company that provide some cloud service.
