My friend Poem pointed out that http://www.amazon.com is down, receiving the following error.
Http/1.1 Service Unavailable
After poking about I noticed some spammy whois comments, but those appear in a whois for Google as well.
AMAZON.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM
AMAZON.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM

We did determine that http://amazon.co.uk is up as is https://www.amazon.com (note the https).
I’m not sure what’s going on other than this has been going on for about an hour I think.

I heard the techies here yapping about Amazon this morning, so it’s been going on for longer than an hour.
Amazon is back online.
