Amazon Outage: Why it went down?

The web has been going crazy with the news that amazon.com has been down, the outage seemed to only last around an hour and both the UK and US domains seem to be working fine now. What we heard was customers of Amazon’s UK Web site took advantage of a pricing error and this included getting a 44-disc set of hit US drama West Wing for just under £18.

Some Amazon customers reported that surge in traffic caused the site to slow down considerably, amazing for a massive brand like Amazon, but I guess we all have our limits.

Krunker reported “Uh oh.. Is something wrong over at Amazon? The site has been suffering outages for the last 40+ minutes or so. If you go to www.amazon.com right now, you’ll probably see a “http/1.1 Service Unavailable” message like the one above. Hmm.. what’s going on Amazon?”.

We also heard from tmcnet.com about the Amazon downtime, they said the UK’s Daily Express reported this “For two hours, the entertainment giant was advertising massive discounts on several DVD box sets including a 44-disc set of hit US drama West Wing for just £17.97. Amazon customers who were lucky enough to stumble across the amazing offers went into a buying frenzy, snapping up multiple purchases of West Wing, Family Guy, Sopranos, Desperate Housewives and Will and Grace”.

Looks like Amazons sales are going to be up today, did you get any good deals?

Desperate Housewives set to be made into a musical

It has been announced that the hit US drama Desperate Housewives is to be made into a musical after the show’s creator Mark Cherry dropped hints to the cast.

Kyle McLachlan said that “I think it is a great idea. It makes sense. Mark has said that when he finishes his seven years at ABC he plans to go to Broadway and move into the musical world so maybe he does have some designs in that way. That’s all he’s said so far.”

Desperate Housewives is currently in its fourth series and has made household names out of its stars including Nicollette Sheridan and Jesse Metcalfe.
