Just saw via Twitter that the Amazon.com site is down (click on Web page message at left).

Strangely, this seems like very big news. Yet when I click on my Google home page (see below), there is no mention of it under all the news tabs.

Wow. Kind of like the Internet shutting down.

Update: Here’s what Amazon just put up. OK this feels better. They haven’t disappeared.
