Not sure if it's my Safari browser, verizon internet, or macbook because I can't seem to get these youtube videos up on my blog. Sorry for that. I couldn't even get to the website for some reason. Anyone else have this problem?
More to follow.

From what I can ascertain, it is a standard maintenance issue. "Rumor" has it, it'll be back up in an hour or two.

It has been officially relaunched and is back in business. (For most people I guess...it's still not working for me). It's amazing how many people's lives were interrupted by this. I guess the world stopped spinning there for a few hours.

Back in business. The world has continued to function despite millions of videos on YouTube. Interesting. And for those of you who commented, I thought my email inbox was going to explode. Where did you all come from and how did you find me? Would be curious to know...have a wonderful day!

I'm in NJ near PA, i've got safari, i've got Verizon and I too cannot get the youtube. Wonder if it's a verizon thing or an area thing
Massachusetts, IE, same thing, no YouTube.

From the Netherlands:
No youtube either..
Comcast, Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia), no Youtube. But my friend in Arizona (Comcast) says it's working fine AND fast for him.
UK here and no Youtube

Correction: friend in Arizona's on Cox, not Comcast.
I think in my opinion, it is the RIAA, they can't leave even Youtube alone. They can't stand people creating own contents. If youtube was taken offline by the RIAA. It will not force me to buy any CD's nor listen to the RIAA tunes.
Youtube down (from upstate NY)
www.youtube.com not resolved in Italy too.
IP address http://208.65.153.251/ looks sloooooooooooow and mostly broken.
FYI, youtube's subnets:
208.65.152.0/22
208.117.224.0/19
64.15.112.0/20
Relax, people, it's just a domain hijack. YouTube will be back soon.

greetings, im the commenter from japan. .... hours ago, when i wanted to know what was up with youtube, i typed "youtube" into google news, and the first thing to come up was either your blog or something that linked directly to your blog. i suspect that many of the other random around-the-world commenters did the same thing.... thus, all the comments.
Thanks my friend from Japan. I was a bit weirded out by that...don't normally get that many hits here in small town Pennsylvania :)
