The lists ought to be stored, since it does not make sense to query
them all the time. At the same time, there should be another function
to refresh the list. So you will have:

1) a get_chatroom_list that returns a cached list if it exists or
retrieves the list from the server otherwise
2) a refresh_chatroom_list that retrieves the list from the server

You will of course need to choose good function names (yahoo_...)
since they will be exposed as part of the API.
