everyone saying they can't hit certain sites(images on Wordpress/amazon/etc) is actually seeing the affect of their ISP's networks and the CDNs those sites use. Lotta Level3 issues right now. CDNs are often peered as close to the major ISP hubs as possible for speed reasons, but it can unfortunately result in these kind of chained outages. Since a lot of companies pump full site traffic through CDNs, it can appear as them being down.
