Bing went offline for about 30 minutes. I captured a screen shot of Microsoft's search engine having issues about mid-way through. Here it is:

Bing is Down

TechCrunch said it was down for about 30 minutes. Twitter was buzzing about the news, and there were threads at Bing Community & WebmasterWorld.

Bing tweeted when they came back online:

Bing Up

This may be the first time that Bing.com has been down in its relatively short history.

Forum discussion at Bing Community & WebmasterWorld.

Update: Bing blog has a post on this.
