in ur datacenter, breakin ur web 2.0

So apparently, according to this site, either a power outage or a drunken employee (or both) knocked several popular web sites offline this evening, including LiveJournal, Craigslist, TypePad, and Technorati.

I searched Google News for the name of the datacenter, 365 Main. All I found was COMEDY GOLD.

Which makes me believe that I can no longer use Google for breaking news. I ended up finding this information on Digg, which is a big win for "Web 2.0".

(Despite the fact that Digg seems to be the only "Web 2.0" site up and running right now, that is.)

    No coincidence Digg was up... the CEO of Digg was also a founder of Equinix, a company that actually knows how to build and run data centers, unlike 365 Main despite their unmitigated hubris. I don't actually know where Digg has their servers, but it wouldn't be 365 Main.

    It’s interesting how different platforms have varying levels of reliability.
