As are linkedin, stumbleupon, thepiratebay and fark.
Let's not post when a site goes down. Not interesting.
In particular, check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/.
It says reddit is up, so it is just down for you.

Actually, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/, will tell you it is up, because it is showing the emergency maintenance page.
And it is interesting, because as far as we know, it is all caused by the one extra second. It's a mini-Y2K. If you saw Google's solution to it, it is easy to see, that is not at all intuitive, and that bugs like this will continue to happen.

You win: "We are having some Java/Cassandra issues related to the leap second at 5pm PST. We're working as quickly as we can to restore service." https://twitter.com/redditstatus/statuses/219244389044731904
There were outages yesterday when Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud in northern Virginia lost power. That one took out Pinterest and Netflix. As a multitude of sites are down again today, I agree, this is interesting.

This happens frequently (that is, maintenance that results in this page appearing).. not sure how it made FP.
Reddit downtime usually is late at night or for a relatively short time. This is Saturday afternoon, and it has been down for over an hour, so I'd consider it noteworthy.
Is up now.
