Although there is no real reason for it – Amazon.com is currently down. That has to be a tough situation to go down in the middle of the day.
The reason is not clear and, as of this post, there were only a few posts listed in the blogosphere through an Amazon search on Technorati. Any thoughts?

For Amazon to be down at all, ever, is a big deal. There is no “middle of the day” for a company that sells worldwide at $8.49B [1] revenue.
That’s $270ish per second. Not to mention the confidence lost in people developing against their web services, which I think (but am not certain) were also affected.
