Amazon.com Suffers Significant Outage
The twitterverse is abuzz with the fact that Amazon.com is down. Reports of the outage seem to have come in around 1:25 PM EDT. Users trying to reach the site are greeted with a “Http/1.1 Service Unavailable” error.
Pretty significant outage for this major e-commerce retailer. My rough estimate is that the site outage costs Amazon 1.7 million dollars in revenue for every hour they are down. Pretty crazy.
