When I signed onto group chat this morning, my colleagues bantered about problems accessing LinkedIn. They couldn't. I navigated to the site easily enough, but got this message when trying to log in: \"An Error occurred during authorization, please try again later\". The social network's Twitter feed<\/a> confirms there are problems, but information is contradictory.<\/p>\n

About two hours ago: \"We're aware that the site is currently down, and our team is working on it right now. Stay tuned\". An hour later: \"The issues you may have experienced with our site earlier have been cleared. Thanks for your patience\". But they weren't fixed. At 9:21 am EDT: \"Our site is currently experiencing some issues. Our team is continuing their work on this. Stay tuned\".<\/p>\n

I can access the main site but can't log in. So problems persist, and they're intermittent. Colleague Mihaita Bamburic<\/a> couldn't log in before I started this post, but at 10:38 am posted to BetaNews group chat: \"It works now. But then again it did before, then went down again\".<\/p>\n

The cloud is great until it storms, eh? LinkedIn isn't my primary social network, but I know many, many people who depend on the cloud service for business purposes, which means many of our readers.<\/p>\n

The reaction on Twitter surprises me. \"If #LinkedIn is down, how will I know when an Anonymous IT Professional from South Africa views my profile???\" Michael Ratty tweets<\/a>. He jests, right? Lori B. doesn't. She replies<\/a>: \"As a recruiter, my day is officially unproductive if this is the case\".<\/p>\n

Helen Pi\u00f1a<\/a>: \"As a digital marketer, I selfishly feel good knowing a website can tragically go down on anyone, even #LinkedIn\". Scott Stratten<\/a>: \"LinkedIn is down. Suddenly my life is devoid of MLM pitches and group spam. I feel empty\".<\/p>\n

At 10:44 am, LinkedIn tweeted: \"Our site is now back up and running. Thank you for your patience\". I successfully logged in. And you?<\/p>\n
