Walmart's website had an outage around 6:10 a.m. eastern time this morning. They have been down for at least fifteen to twenty minutes. The message on the website says scheluded maintenance but Black Friday isn't the time for a retailer to be scheduling maintenance. They must have been overwhelmed by Black Friday shoppers flocking to the website or they having an ill-timed glitch. We have also seen Sak's Fifth Avenue and Circuit City experiencing some downtime at the start of the holiday shopping season.
