It would be interesting to know what kind of failover mechanisms they follow and the reasons for the outage, and how much money they lost due to this?

- asenchi 18y agoWell according to returns last year, about $503/revenue per second. $15.9 billion last year.

- dangoldin 18y agoI'm not it's accurate to give a $ revenue for second. For me personally, if I wanted to buy something and the site didn't work. I would just come back in an hour; not sure how others would change their behavior.
- asenchi 18y agoOh certainly, that was just a figure. I suspect people will just come back. Still a fascinating number (btw, pulled from Reddit.com, forgot to credit originally).
- mynameishere 18y agoI wouldn't trust that. http://www.reddit.com/info/6mbec/comments/c049fo7 http://www.reddit.com/info/6mbec/comments/c049fo7
- DenisM 18y agoSometimes I come to buy.com and it's closed, so I turn away and go to amazon. Eventually, I stopped going to buy.com altogether.
- jfornear 18y agoUnrelated, but that is exactly why those "National Don't Buy Gas Days" on Facebook don't do a thing to affect gas prices.
- aneesh 18y agoBecause it's not a credible threat. People can't boycott indefinitely until there is a real alternative. If you don't buy gas today, you'll buy tomorrow, or next week.
