YOUTUBE DOWN AT 6:16 AM SATURDAY, MAY 3RD

I do not know how this happened, but YouTube is down and so is my 230 video channel. Centernetworks reports that -- yikes -- the DNS for YouTube has been hacked. Man Chad (Hurley, the co-founder of YouTube) must be going nuts.

Subject: route fully down
Pinging the Youtube DNS shows the route is down at the datacenter:

traceroute to 208.65.152.137 (208.65.152.137), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

The server names are screwy for other domains as well, so I'm not sure that's the problem. I haven't seen anyone yet who has any idea what's going on. It's weird.

your traceroutes are bogus and misleading. it's not the connectivity that's down to youtube, it's their nameservers. there has been no hack.
