Superstorm knocks down US websites
31 Oct 2012 6:42 AM IST
The Huffington Post and other popular US websites struggled to get back on their feet on Tuesday after superstorm Sandy knocked them out of cyberspace.
On its homepage, the Huffington Post blamed power outages triggered by the storm on Monday for ‘technical difficulties’ as it offered readers minimalist post-storm updates with no photos or links to other parts of its vast site. ‘We are working around the clock to get the site back to normal,’ it said in a boldface editor's note.
The hip Manhattan-centric website Gawker and stablemates such as Jezebel and Gizmodo were also out of action overnight.
Buzzfeed invited its visitors on Tuesday to proceed to the website's Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook accounts for fresh content, in the absence of homepage updates since on Monday.
