Pardon our interruption in programming
This afternoon part of San Francisco suffered a power outage, and ZDNet blogs, as well as Technorati, Six Apart, Craigslist, Netflix, Yelp and other services housed at the 365 Main hosting facility were wholly or partially affected. In the case of ZDNet, there was apparently a problem with the backup power when the power outage, currently of unknown origin, occurred, and some our databases were corrupted by the sudden power drop.
