The webmail service 'EarthLink' suffered a major power outage this morning, and users were unable to access any of their pages; ironic considering today is Earth Day.
(At time of publication the site is still down)
It is not known what caused the crash, as the site was offline and even the company's phone numbers were down. The public relations department did not immediately return any calls.
Reports of EarthLink being down were first reported on Twitter, at about 10:30am EST.
"Wake-up call to EarthLink," wrote "
"EarthLink down on Earth Day," noted tweeter QuiCacet. "Coincidence or dastardly conspiracy?"
EarthLink is based in Atlanta and has 2.8 million subscribers across the US.
