Is a New Digital Video Service Derailing Amazon.com?

Amazon.com had another bad day.
After a two-hour outage on Friday, the site again had intermittent problems Monday. Keynote Systems, a mobile and Internet performance management firm based in San Mateo, Calif., says a new round of problems with the online retailer started at 10:03 a.m. this morning Pacific time and lasted for 20 minutes. During that time, site’s availability was down to 30 percent.
Later that hour, at 10:56 Pacific time, the site’s availability dipped back down to 68 percent for around 3 minutes, according to Keynote.

Amazon.com now appears to be operating normally. Though it informed its merchants Monday of the new problems, Amazon, characteristically, has not addressed the cause of the outages.
