My favorite photo sharing site, Flickr (owned by Yahoo!) went to la-la land earlier today. The outage is still ongoing as of this time. I am sure millions of users are in withdrawal right now.
Here are the updates on Flickr's blog:
10:50 AM PDT: Hey, we wanted to make sure you all knew, if you embedded photos from a photopage on Flickr, we are still serving them. So, if they are posted to your blog, your photos will still be showing there. What we are doing now is working on getting all our WWW servers back on for everyone. Sorry for the downtime to everyone, we hate it as much as you!
10:05 AM PDT: We’re still here working on getting things up and serving to you, shouldn’t be too much longer!
9:18 AM, PDT: Hello! All hands are on deck over here and we’re still working on getting things back up for everyone. Apologies for the disruption!
8:51 AM, PDT: Ahoy everyone! Flickr is experiencing problems at the present time, and our engineers are all in the main engine room, working on resolving the issue. Please hang tight, and we’ll have things back for you as soon as possible. If we need to, we’ll post an update for you here.
Checked again ... nothing yet. Getting desperate ....
