The story is evolving, as you'd expect. An excerpt from the=
latest
update at the Chron is below. Nothing at this hour has appeared
on 365main.com. But go there and take a look and decide if
*your* colo has better stuff.

And now that we know this isn't enough . . . your move.

The datacenter 365 Main -- which hosts a number of Internet=
sites,
including Craigslist, Yelp and RedEnvelope -- also lost power,
causing frustration among many Web surfers.
Several of the sites posted messages to explain to their users=
that
they were having difficulties, while others said they were
undergoing scheduled maintenance or upgrades.
After about 45 mintues, power to the datacenter was restored by
back-up generators that remained in service until PG&E could=
confirm
that its supply was stable. There was no immediate response from=
the
facility as to why the generators were not turned on right after=
the
blackout.
Some of the sites, including Craigslist, remained down even=
after
power was restored, as administrators ensured that data in the
server hadn't been damaged, among other checks.
