Amazon.com has been limping badly for a few hours now, and anecdotal reports of downtime are flying across Twitter. According to an Amazon support staff forum post, “We continue to experience an issue that is impacting customers’ ability to place orders on the Amazon.com website as well as the display of item details within Manage Your Inventory within your seller account. We appreciate your understanding as we work toward resolution.”
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
