When is the last time eBay was down for testing? I remember eBay used to go down all the time back in the late '90s. How about Google or Amazon? Yahoooo-ooooo? How about content providers like YouTube? di.fm? MySpace? How about Alexa?
IHUB used to go down frequently, but they've worked out most of those issues.
ReelTime.com is suffering from lack of cash. It is NOT normal, but in the scheme of things, nobody is noticing or cares. It is acceptable because they are still so small. Once top-tier content goes up, I don't think it will be acceptable any longer.
