This morning MySpace got taken out by a power outage. Totally. For a few hours the entire site was unreachable apparently. I’m sorry, this was the site that was recently claimed to be the most visited domain in the US and they are working out of one datacenter that can be taken out by a power outage? Am I missing something?
As suggested I had a search through Technorati for “MySpace not working” and came across an endless amount of posts along the line of “MySpace isn’t working, it’s driving my insane!” Which is the issue with running your entire life on a social networking site. Especially one that is constantly bringing up error messages and getting hi-jacked by Flash movies.

Just proves what I have been saying all along; MySpace is for n00bs and people who don’t value the security, privacy and uptime of their data, blogs and comments.
I’m glad they had the outage - hopefully helplessly addicted MySpace users will have taken the time to discover that actually MySpace isn’t the easiest network and blogging site for newbies and in fact has more issues compared with WordPress and similar than there are grains of sand on a beach. They should also have found sites that don’t suffer outages during power cuts (yes folks, they really do exist!)
Death to MySpace *evil laugh*

Well from what I saw, everyone just went onto LiveJournal and blogged there. It’s like they flock from one n00b site to the other.
