Salesforce.com outage exposes cloud's dark linings

Tap the breaks

Let's all just tap the breaks. Is this outage newsworthy? Yes. Does it "expose a dark lining"? I think that's shoddy reporting. Stick to the facts:

- First major outage since 2006

- Only been 6 hours since outage occurred...give the company time to tell us what the problem was

- On-premise systems go down too...and may not come up as quickly as SFDC did today

Report the facts...but don't sensationalize. Ruins credibility. You're better than that.
