Their health check for AWS is all green (http://status.aws.amazon.com/), though.
I'm curious what the issue is, and if we'll hear anything about it.
EDIT: Back up, now.
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
link here on HN to announce that a major site is down, when it is NOT down for me. Amazon.com is working just fine for me. I've just been browsing around. What is the methodology of
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
that sometimes spoofs that site into reporting a major site is down? I'm having no trouble whatsoever navigating Amazon.com just now.
After edit: I checked my personal website. It's up. But then, oops, I was told that Hacker News is down (even though it evidently isn't).
What do you see when you follow this link?

I just saw
"It's not just you! http://news.ycombinator.com looks down from here.
"Check another site?"
P.P.S. I am in the midwestern United States. I was just browsing Amazon.com some more, and it is working great. Hacker News is still reported as down.
https://amazon.com gives me an SSL error and then it can't resolve.
What country are you in that you can see it? I'm on the Eastern seaboard of the US.
