Amazon.com site is down with a very helpful error message

by Priyatam

[Update: 2 hours, something]. Look’s like the folks at Amazon, finally brought back the site again. Here’s a report at WiredÂ

[Update: 1 hours 30 minutes] Ok, they added a nicer error message. But click on the link, it gives back the same Http/1.1 Service Unavailable message back! What’s worst is — It does actually work sometimes, but when you refresh, you’re back to this screen. Hilarious stuff Amazon, keep us entertained.  Â

[Update: 1 hour] Â Amazon.com down for over one hour and counting. Tech Crunch.com features this on it’s home page at this point. Tech Dirt reports the same

Wow! You don’t see these messages often.

Reminds you of your old school webapp, when you first tried. If Amazon.com sells thousands of books books per hour (hundreds of thousands, in peak season), then how much are they loosing per millisecond, for this error message? Not to mention, the thousands of other stuff that they sell.

 It would be an interesting math.
