If you use Foursquare, HootSuite, Reddit and Quora- or read blogs like this - you know that Amazon had a great big fail whale last week.
Their Elastic Cloud Compute turned into Elastic Cloud Compote when they accidentally flooded the secondary server during a common network change procedure.
Trouble is, those social networks don't have a cool fail whale like Twitter. 
Foursquare, for example, has this little weepy princess. This is not exactly how either the users or the providers felt about the outage. At least I know I didn't.
Closer to the mark for me is probably something like this.
