What is GOING on with the internet today?

I’m hearing reports from various top-secret sources (aka me and my friends) that not only is Twitter down (which greatly upsets me), but Amazon Canada is down, LiveJournal is down, Facebook & Facebook Chat are being uber glitchy, PayPal isn’t working properly, EventBrite.com isn’t working and many more.

I’ve actually resorted to using MSN to talk to people. I KNOW!

The worst part? I can’t complain! My ability to tell everyone how much the internet is sucking today isn’t possible because NOTHING IS WORKING.

So, thus, without being able to actually trend this topic on Twitter, I am doing so on the only available platform I can: WordPress! (Insert angelic and heavenly music here.) I declare today: #InternetFAILDay

Love it. Use it. Pass it Along. Let’s make it work, folks.

I feel like Chicken Little too, by the way, running around screaming about the sky falling. The internet is falling! Run for your lives! The Day of Doom is hereeee!

Edit: According to Mashable, Twitter has been defending against a DDoS attack. Looks like Twitter is back up though… for now!
