But it’s not just Sony having technical difficulties today, as Amazon’s cloud computing centre has been down for some time now.

The centre in North Virginia supplies services to a whole host of websites which include HootSuite, FourSquare, Reddit, and answer service Quora. Reddit’s search service is out of action and posted that Amazon were working on it according to an article by Charles Arthur from guardian.co.uk.

The trouble started around 9.40 a.m. BST or 1.40 a.m. West Coast time, and is still ongoing at the time of writing. Amazon has so far not given any time scale for when the problem will be fixed. They run a few cloud computing centers and are designed so that if one goes down it doesn’t take any of the others with it.

Amazon has also not given any reason for the outage in North Virginia, and has not redistributed any of the service it offers to other centers. Has this outage affected you?

HootSuite launched back in December 2008, it helps businesses to improve their social marketing campaigns by allowing you to publish to websites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace etc, you can find out a little more about HootSuite here.

As mentioned above the service has been around for two-years, in just over a year it boasted 250,000 registered users, however in 2010 things really kicked off, it now has over 1 million registered users, you can see a chart showing its growth below.

Apparently 61% of users use HootSuite to post to Twitter, whilst 27% of people use it to post to Facebook, I have used HootSuite to post to Facebook and find it extremely easy to use, therefore if you have not used it why not sign up?

I’m sure that 2011 will also be a great year for HootSuite, let’s face it social media is growing and growing, therefore you would have thought that more and more people will begin using HootSuite.

Do you use HootSuite? If so, does it make your life easier?
