All major site go through down times. Sometimes it's a glitch, sometimes it's intentional for maintenance. Earthlink, PayPal and eBay have maintenance down times. If it lasts only an hour or two once in a while, it's probably no big deal. As you can imagine, it's tough keeping a site up to date with the latest software and features while the site is live 24 hours with millions of users. It's like changing a tire on a moving car. Though usually when a site is down to maintenance you will see a notice telling you so.
