Is anyone else still wondering what in the heck happened with NetFlix yesterday? You try to login to their website, and IF the website even loaded at all you would be left staring at a screen alerting visitors that the site is down (DUH!) and NetFlix is working for a resolution to the problem.
The thing that still has a lot of folks scratching their heads is the desire to know exactly why they were out of service to begin with! Apparently the feeling was not mutual since NetFlix did not respond to any inquiries as to why their website was down. The outage was somewhat less inconveniencing for customers who only rent the DVD‘s by mail, however the folks that utilize the NetFlix Instant Streaming services it was a bad, bad day.
NetFlix took to Twitter throughout the day posting messages varying from appreciation for the customers who first alerted them of the problem; all the way down to saying the issue was fixed, but wait it’s not fixed!
Eventually the NetFlix team figured it out, and got the site back up and running leaving everyone happily watching movies via Instant Stream.
There are still the lingering questions, as we are waiting for the video to retrieve. What caused the outage? Has NetFlix taken on to many customers for their service to handle?
Thoughts?
