YouTube Down – April 23
It appears the video sharing site YouTube is down and as of 2:38pm Eastern it has been down over 15 minutes. It appears embedded videos are working from my testing but the website is not.
There’s a bunch of chatter about the outage over on Twitter. In fact questions about YouTube’s outage are coming in so quickly that the instant you hit submit, there are already a batch more in the search queue!
I understand there are several people visiting local hospitals because they are unable to watch the latest cat videos. People, please remain calm during this unfortunate time.
As always, please report in if YouTube is down for you as well.
Update: 2:50 pm – YouTube appears to be back to normal except for the HUGE Honda car ad at the top of the page. Check out this groovy video of a new type of pizza box that breaks apart into plates and can also fold back into a storage box for the leftover pizza!
is down in germany too.wazz up
in singapore, it just came down at 7.20pm…
You Tube is down in my area near Montreal and it is extremely frustrating to maybe get one video and then no loads almost for ever after that.
Scientists are puzzling over a short-lived but noticeable upward blip in collective human productivity and intelligence. The spike commenced at about 2:38pm Eastern last night, but by the time a tracking team could be put in place it had subsided and retreated.
Extra-terrestrial influence has not been ruled out, but the scientific community remains close-lipped on the matter.
Computer outages show us how vulnerable we are. We can exchange talk about it but do precious little!
down again
it’s still down over here in California at 3:31 p.m. Been down all day.
