This afternoon Amazon.com had problems loading–resurrecting the old #amazonfail tag on Twitter. UPDATED: The site has returned to normal as of this 8:55 pm EST writing.
Add your angry, confused, or sympathetic thoughts in the comments section. One anonymous tipster wrote: “Amazon has been down for an hour plus. So much for the world moving on with just Kindles. Bookstores never have this problem.”
Jane L waxed economical: “wonder how much money amazon loses each minute that it is down like this. Hundreds of thousands?”
Cecilia Tan tweeted: “Apparently there is some kind of massive #amazonfail going on? Even The DaVinci code shows as ‘currently unavailable’ in search results.”
