This is interesting: The Amazon.com website has been down for at least the past hour.

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.

Look for that stock price to plummet further was word spreads. Not to mention the amount of money the company is losing for every minute that the site is 404ed. Let’s hope it doesn’t take down the rest of the ecommerce economy with it.

If you really, really need to get on there, the secure-site https://www.amazon.com/ address works, somehow. I wouldn’t necessarily try buying anything, but you can always window-shop.
