del.icio.us is down

Originally uploaded by tyfn.

Today at 10:55pm PST I tried to log into del.icio.us receiving this error. This screen is actualy from last night when I tried unsuccessfully for a period of time around the same time to access my personal library.

I have never had this happen two consecutive days in a row before. I wonder whether this has anything to do with the Yahoo! buyout.

update: It’s looks like there was a power failure which affected the servers.

Relevance: I am very dependent on del.icio.us and feel a sense of loss in not being able to access and add to my del.icio.us library right now. However, it looks like flock has come to the rescue. I can add to my favourite which are my del.icio.us links and I can access my existing favourites. I am starting to see the benefits of using flock, more each day as its stability increases. This is not a slight on firefox. I absolutely love using firefox, I also enjoy flock.
