After A Brief Outage Amazon.com Is Back

Update: As of 3:30 p.m. EST Amazon.com is back.

At approximately 3 p.m. this afternoon Amazon.com was unreachable.

IsItDownRightNow says Amazon's servers are now reachable.

The interruption seemed to be isolated to just Amazon.com's main page, not the company's international sites. We were still able to reach the Amazon.ca site.

Here are some tweets, which confirmed the brief outtage:
