It lists how many links are pointing back to each page but when you click on the link list it doesn’t display anything. Additionally, whenever I attempt to do a site: or link: request within Yahoo, it churns forever and isn’t returning results. I’m not sure what’s going on in the world of backlink data but when a reporting mechanism works 99% percent of the time and then suddenly doesn’t, especially within the two major search engines, it’s a bit disconcerting.

Also worth noting is the weird Google results mentioned over at Search Engine Land and by Aaron Wall.
