Is there a major WordPress outage? I was on Scobleizer's blog when all of a sudden his web pages started timing out. Since he is on a hosted WordPress website (didn't he switch a few months ago to Wordpress?
) I tried going to www.wordpress.com and it too timed out. Hosted Wordpress bloggers are probably not very happy with the outage this Wednesday morning. I'm going to check out a few more Wordpress blogs and see if they are offline as well. I believe this is the 2nd major WordPress outage. I also just tried these Wordpress sites:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/ - down
http://flocksucks.wordpress.com/ - down
Update:
It appears that some WordPress pages are loading but very slowly.
Could this be a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack? I asked Om to see what he could find out.
Update: 10:47am 2/22/06
Looks like Wordpress is back online. It looks like it was roughly a 45 minute outage.

Sorry, there was actually a problem with DNS and some providers, which means even though the service never actually went down it may have appeared inaccessible from various parts of the internet for however long the bad DNS was cached. Of course steps are being taken to prevent anything similar in the future.
Hey Photo Matt. I almost included your Wordpress blog in the list of down blogs, but your http://matt.wordpress.com/ blog isn't your more "famous" primary blog, i.e. http://photomatt.net/
So I didn't include it in the down list. Thanks for the DNS explanation.
