The popular social-networking site MySpace.com suffered a pair of extended outages over the weekend because of power problems at a key data center in the Los Angeles area, the company said Monday.More here.
In a message to MySpace users, company co-founder and President Tom Anderson said MySpace "has been screwy" since Saturday because of failures in both the main power supply and the backup generators. Visitors to the site were given an opportunity to play Pac-Man while waiting for the restoration of their personal profile pages.
The company blamed a heat wave that has gripped California in recent days, increasing electricity demand and leaving tens of thousands of customers in Southern California without power.
The first outage at MySpace started about 8:40 p.m. EDT Saturday and lasted more than six hours. The second began about 9:30 p.m. Sunday and continued until 9 a.m. Monday.
