| Amazon's US site is warning visitors of a problem |
Visitors to
the US shopping site were greeted with a message saying: "Oops! We're very
sorry," alongside a "500 Service Unavailable Error" report.
The site
returned online about half an hour after the problem was first flagged by users
of the news site Reddit.
Amazon
could not be reached for comment at this time.
It follows
Google's two-minute downtime on Friday. That affected the firm's main search
page as well as its Gmail email service, YouTube video site and Drive storage
product.
Analytics
firm GoSquared reported the fault caused a 40% dip in worldwide internet
traffic. Google has not explained the cause.
Microsoft's
Outlook.com and the New York Times website have also faced problems
Microsoft
blamed a three-day-long disruption to its email product on a failure in its
"caching" temporary storage service. It said this "resulted in a
flood of traffic that our services did not handle properly".
The New
York Times has said that an "internal issue" with its servers meant
that the newspaper became unavailable for two hours on Wednesday.
