Youtube is Down

February 24, 2008

Since yesterday, I’m not able to see my own YouTube videos. The reason is unknown because, they didn’t specify any maintenance schedule either.

Actually, I was compelled to check my script if something went wrong or what but it’s confirmed to my knowledge that, YouTube is down.

Many Internet Gurus have been telling and warning since many years that this “Online Media Sharing” BOOM is not going to do any good because, that could be the reason one day, INTERNET would collapse. I don’t know how it’s going to do, but I’ve felt myself that this massive online media sharing like music streaming, video streaming, VOIP, downloads,torrents, etc.. vigorously hampering the performance of internet backbone. There is voice that billions of dollars are to be invested to re-structure how Internet was built. Have their voices gone unheard? Is this the beginning of Internet Collapse, is YouTube not showing up the symptom for that?

I dunno, or by the time you are reading this, Youtube.com may come back to service but what happens if big and popular media sharing sites started to have situation like this. Just imagine.
