Funeral for Overture Keyword Tool?

Did anybody notice that all Overture relatetd keyword tools and software don't function anymore?
I just went to check on the Overture website, it's gone there too. 

One of my most beloved keyword tools has left the scene, after sooo many years of being useful to thousands of webmasters and SEO people. It's gone, vaished from the face of the matrix. I'm frustrated! Gravely frustrated 

I was actually expecting that to happen ever since Yahoo copied AdWords, so to speak. But now it really seems to have happened.

Did anybody hear anything that would make me smile again?

Well I think you are right !!!
Lots of times the tools had no response for a few days
but they would always come back

but also they had not updated their database with any new data.

I heard the service is still available but only for their paid customers

Yes, but you can still use the free keyword discovery tool or the one at seobook that are both better than the old overture tool IMHO.
