This seems to match up with reports that those websites that depended on Amazon's cloud were for the most part operating normally.

The partial failure which affected Amazon's cloud servers in its Northern Virginia facility, occurred early Thursday morning. Several popular websites including Foursquare, Reddit, and Quora were down for much ...
