YouTube Takes Scheduled Downtime Break

Posted on October 26, 2006

YouTube has taken some scheduled downtime and posted a graphic featuring a busy chemist or mad scientists. YouTube says they are working on some new concoctions and formulas.

It sounds like YouTube is employing mad scientists to fix the site. This cute funny cartoon notices on websites and services are meant to help calm down users upset there service is temporarily unavailable - and they work providing the downtime is not too great.

Yahoo was down briefly a few days after the Google acquisition. Not many bloggers have posted about the current downtime yet except a MySpace blogger whose post begins with "NOoOoOoO!!!!!" No one like downtimes even if they are "scheduled downtimes."
