eBay site down, Blogging Network reporters on it!

What's going on with technology today? First, my broadband Internet connection vaporizes on me this afternoon. One minute Comcast digital broadband is working just fine. The next it is unable to connect me to anything on the web. Thanks to some expert help I was able to get it working again.

Now eBay's website is down and there's nothing about it anywhere online. The only news about an eBay outage dates back to June of 1999 when Yahoo Auctions tried to take advantage of the 24-hour outage. Yes, the home page shows up just fine but there are error messages when you try and click on an item or do a search. But it doesn't seem to be news. Not on Google News. Not on News.com. Not anywhere.

What happened to the 24-hour-ness of the Internet? Where are the reporters covering this breaking story? Oh yeah, we're here on Blogging Network. We're the 21st century reporters in a very online world.
