Another Amazon Outage Exposes the Cloud's Dark Lining - Businessweek

More on the tangled-Web topic
"The biggest surprise from Sunday’s outage may be who was affected. Instagram is now owned by Facebook (FB), which has invested considerable resources to create its own global data network. Vine is owned by Twitter, which has similarly earned its own hard-won infrastructure expertise. Likely both have some degree of redundancy, but it clearly wasn’t enough. And apparently Facebook and Twitter have yet to bring their recent acquisitions onto their own computing networks. After Sunday, they may seek to hasten that move."
