Apparently due to a power surge (BS), MySpace spent a good part of this morning down. (source).
It seems pretty unlikely to me that a site that big would exist in one location with the possibility of failing. More likely they screwed up an update or something.
Of course, I didn't notice anything, since I avoid MySpace like it has the plague (Oh wait, it does!).
(Disclaimer: I stole that joke from a guy on Slashdot).
Interestingly enough is the fact that I either completely missed this so called 'outage' or it displayed the standard myspace maintence message which hints at their servers not really losing power...
How many websites do you know that have multiple datacenters hosting them iago? Further more how many websites made by complete retards do you know who know how to setup multiple datacenters to host a single page? :p
BTW Newby, using a website has very little to do with how good it is. I for one can live with the myspace bullshit because it allows me an easy way to talk with the majority of the people I know from school online. Beyond that is really is rather useless.
*note: I don't really get the full myspace experience because I've adblocked half of the shit on myspace. Sadly I think myspace entries make up like 3/4ths of my adblock list...
