S3 Down for More Than 7 Hours
Amazon's S3 service went down today and more than 7 hours later, it is still down. The service initially went down around 12:00PM EST and my latest check shows troubles continuing for sites that depend on S3.
Smugmug, a popular photo sharing site with more than 600 TB of data stored on S3 has been accessible along with several "Web 2.0" startup sites. Because of the astounding amount of data stored by Smugmug on S3, it can definitely be considered a poster child for the service. Last time I checked Smugmug, at 11:10 PM EST, it was still inaccessible.
This is not good for Amazon and for startups that are looking to count on Amazon's "redundant" S3 platform. Dr. Werner Vogels is probably pretty upset right now.

“As a consequence, a variety of businesses such as Twitter, digital photo sharing Web site, SmugMug and The Huffington Post all had issues. Twitterers were claiming their avatar images could not be displayed. The Huffington Post was also unable to display images to its stories, while SmugMug could not offer any service at all.
