agreed 100%. This kind of thing shouldn't happen and this widespread. It's like no one is preparing for worse case scenarios until AFTER something tragic happens.

On the West Coast and I just lost twitter/soundcloud/github - 9:40 am PST

loss of twitter, soundcloud, and github is what passes for tragic these days?
As a programmer, the loss of GitHub is a pretty big deal in terms of work productivity, and as a maintainer of production systems that rely on assets from GitHub, it's a pretty big availability issue.
I mean, i get it, its a big deal to us. But tragic? Syria is tragic. Github is just above annoying.
Let's say that it's tragic for the people whose job it is to maintain those services.
Try PayPal. That's gonna be a big issue for everyone who uses their payment processing.
