LivingSocial Suffers 20+ Hour Web Outage

LivingSocial continued a streak of negative headlines on November 12 when its website, iPhone app and merchant management tools experienced a severe outage, AllThingsD reported.

The media outlet indicated that the outage lasted more than 20 hours, starting at 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, November 12 and continuing into the morning hours of November 13.

LivingSocial issued a blog post that indicated that the issues were due to “an internal error,” and stated that teams were working “non-stop” on a resolution. No external factors are suspected in the outage, according to company officials.

LivingSocial experienced another recent setback when it was revealed that the company is only worth 5 percent of its $1 billion 2012 valuation.
