Amazon.com has been serving up a nice, fat "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" error today -- evidence that even the big guys, with top-flight software, massive server infrastructure and an army of techies aren't immune to ecommerce meltdowns.
The difference here is that when Amazon grosses about $4 billion a quarter, every minute of downtime costs them something like $92,000 of sales!
Marketwatch reported: "Amazon.com's Web site was unavailable on Friday. Amazon's homepage returned the message "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" against a blank white screen. No reason for the service interruption was listed, and company representatives were not available for immediate comment. Shares of Amazon were down 2.7% to $82.25 in early afternoon trading."
