Amazon is Down

This is the text on their homepage: "We're sorry! An error occurred when we tried to process your request. Rest assured, we're working to resolve the problem as soon as possible. If you were trying to make a purchase, please check Your Account to confirm that the order was placed. We apologize for the inconvenience. "

I look forward to learning more about Amazon as a company by reading later about how they handle this situation.

Up for me right now

International versions (tried .de and .es) seem to be up, interestingly enough.

As is IMDB.com.

It's back up now. That's quick. What's their uptime SLA number? 99.999%? That is a 5minute 15s per year downtime.

Other services like seller central and amazon canada is working normally.

Just came back for a quick second, and than right back to being down.

Wow, every minute lost is so damaging.

Just when I need to print up receipts

Looks like they are back up now...

So much for the cloud.

Huh, looks like capitalizing the DOWN made this get 4 times as many votes than https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11261484 as of now

Edit: and now title has been edited to down. Was capital when I posted.
