Whoops! YouTube looks like they are a little more popular that they have expected to be. Unknown as to what the issue is just yet, but enjoy this little graphic they worked up explaining their site. Whatever happened to graceful errors? Redundant systems? I’ll update if I get any more information.

UPDATE: Funny text hidden in the source (right-click | view | source):

You have reached YouTube, the premier digital video repository on the Internet. We are currently working on the site.

We’ll be back soon…

UPDATE: No, we haven’t been hacked. Get a sense of humor.

UPDATE 2: Apparently we can’t spel.

UPDATE 3: Please stop calling the office, we’re trying to work in here.

A screen cap of the source code is here.
