Not a BBM outage folks, but BBM Avatar outage.  That was quite tragic to surface a while back when the whole world when BlackBerry-less for a whole night.  I spotted on the BlackBerry fan page on Facebook that RIM mentions a BBM Avatar outage in the Asia Pacific region.  They have noted:

BBM Avatars should now be updating in most regions. If you were experiencing issues please try updating your Avatar again. We apologize for the inconvenience as some users in Asia Pacific may be experiencing issues with BBM Avatars not updating.

So for any of you out there experiencing the issue where your BBM Avatar doesn’t seem to be working, try updating the photo  and it should now be working again.
