YouTube Suffers First Unplanned Site Outage

A Reuters article by Eric Auchard, via MSNBC, reports that:

Web video sensation YouTube.com, which serves up more than 100 million videos online a day, suffered a six-hour breakdown Tuesday — its first-ever unplanned outage, a company spokeswoman confirmed.

“We are experiencing a temporary site outage due to a database-related issue,” YouTube spokeswoman Julie Supan said in an e-mail to Reuters five hours after the outage began.

“To clarify and ensure accuracy, the site is not down for maintenance,” Supan said in a statement released shortly before the site recovered. “This was an unplanned outage.”
