Flickr has been down for the past while and frankly, I am surprised it is as reliable as it is, given the large scale of the site.

Yea, I noticed that this morning, and it's still down 4+ hours later. Well, Google's Gmail was down for an hour or two a couple of months ago, I guess Yahoo wanted to follow.

I guess everyone was having trouble.
Fred Miranda went down for a 1 hour maintenance
the other night and took 6 hours to recover
and photosig also hiccupped for about two days.
No one could upload photos.
The amount of traffic these sites get is a lot.
Youtube was saying the other day they get 1 billion hits a day.

I slept through the outage this afternoon :)

I recall reading something a month ago where a bunch of irate people were thinking about suing crackbook because the site was down for quite a long period of time. You know you have an internet addiction when it comes down to this.

Frankly, when the power went out years ago, it was nice to some to some degree, getting everybody off the computer....

I thought it was just me!

So I went and spent 4.5 hours washing, waxing, detailing, vacuuming my car.
