As indicated by about 20 tips in the last few minutes and pretty much all of Twitter, Amazon’s EC2 service appears to be totally down. That means services like Reddit, Heroku, Foursquare, Instagram, Quora, and many, many others are down.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because it just happened this past April.
More to come…

I've never used any of the services Isaac listed, and in fact I haven't heard of at least half of them.
