In about an hour of posting my Salesforce.com was down entry, I received a call from Stacy Cowley of IDG asking for an interview. The article was posted on Computer World Australia and TMCnet about an hour later. The saleforce watch reference and I are the only two sites to be mentioned? Anyone else out there effected?
As mentioned in the article – service was restored for me about 4:40 p.m. EST and I backup and synced my data.
