VideoSift Unavailable
Here is an interesting story I thought I'd share with my fellow sifters. Several days ago I found a great video to sift and went to VS only to find the website unavailable. I thought maybe the site database was being worked on. But after a whole day without VS and it still being unavailable, I started to doubt that was the reason. So I called another VS friend and he said he'd been able to access the site no problem during the time I thought it was down.
Now mind you all other internet sites were working fine for me. That is until I got a myspace reminder about an update to a friends blog. When I tried to access the page, it timed out. I thought surely myspace is not down. So now there are 2 sites I cannot access. Then I went to try and access business email hosted on godaddy... no luck.
After trying no less than 10 fixes, ranging from installing different browsers, to a different OS and running all kinds of malware, trojan, anti virus scans. There was still no luck.
Time to break down and call ATT UVerse tech support. they couldn't ping any of those sites from my gateway and tried to do it from several of my neighbors routers also with no luck. so they elevated the problem. They said it was probably somethign with the DNS servers and they would look into it and call me back. Today VS is working, but still no phone call to let me know specifically what the problem was.
I'll report back once I hear what the problem and fix was
