youtube down

YouTube is currently down for maintenance – over the past 2-3 hours, our testing shows the service up and down. There are a bunch of people posting messages on Twitter with their sad smiley faces because they can’t watch the latest cat video or the latest wedding video. Our sources tell us that the service is down because they are adding “UCM” – ultra cat mode.
While the service is down, please consider cleaning your house, washing your car, taking a walk outside (gasp!), visiting a new startup, reading a book, etc. Check out our YouTube down section for previous outages.
Interestingly, the “down for maintenance” page (as seen below) includes a search box. The search works but any video you select displays the same down for maintenance page – it’s an endless loop! As always please report in if YouTube is down where you are located.
