I don't know if that had been said before, but I think this acquisition will be a great thing for the not-yet-Goodreads-user-but-Kindle-owner type. I believe they will be able to have better choice, more recommendations directly from their (WIFI enabled) Kindle.

I dropped my goodreads account but may reinstate it, in time (or rather, get a new one). Interestingly I seem to still have shelfari but have found that useless. |

Shelfari isn't bad IF you can find a good group there. And that's hard because most of them are quiet. I'm on a good sci/fi fantasy one that I enjoy. Small but some book discussions and active enough without being overactive. The cozy ones I'm on ... I just haven't hit it off there. It could be because I am not reading enough cozies right now to really participate or find like-readers. Or it could be I'm on too many groups and that one just hasn't been enough of a draw. Here's the shelfari group I do enjoy: http://www.shelfari.com/groups/53520/about Feel free to check it out and ignore us at will. I get some good recs there and it's well-moderated. |

Goodreads appears to be down, at least for me, and has been for several hours. I've tried the website and the Android client and am unable to get there. Hopefully it's unrelated...
Edit: Apparently it's just my ISP. I flipped my phone over to mobile data and got through just fine. Odd. Panic mode off... Last edited by hwlester; 04-12-2013 at 09:50 PM. |

Yes, I noticed it was down earlier. Not a good time for them to be going down with all that is going on still.

http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.c....goodreads.com shows it down. I'm in Birmingham, AL and it's down via AT&T U-Verse, but up via AT&T's mobile network, so it must be a backbone issue although I've not encountered other sites down yet. |

Goodreads is fine here, from the second most isolated capital city in the world! Go figure.

Goodreads is down hard here in Oregon (DNS failure).

Haven't actually done any troubleshooting on that level. I'm wondering if someone let the domain name expire. I've worked at two companies where that happened, and DNS propagation varies among ISPs, so that might be what we're seeing. Oops.

The goodreads.com domain doesn't expire until 09 Dec 2022 (if not renewed before then).

It's back to normal for me. Any ideas what were the issue(s)?
