Yes, YouTube appears to be down currently. Looks like it’s down at least 30 minutes now (as of 12:45pm Eastern) based on Corsin’s note. I’ve received nine emails and a batch of Twitter messages asking if it’s down so here is my confirmation that it’s down for me as well.

The site currently returns the following message, “Http/1.1 Service Unavailable”.

Update 1:20PM: YouTube is back, albeit a bit slow. Please resume cat video watching.

This gives me a chance to pass along some other bloggers you might consider reading while you are missing the cat video of the day:

• Marshall
• Rex
• Tara
• Jeremiah
• Patricia
• Tony – the “good doctor”

Or you could always browse the 70+ interviews we have and the job openings including one for I Can Has Cheeseburger! Lastly check out our Vimeo vs. Viddler battle of the “better” video sharing sites.
