The Second Life grid had 'a bit of a flutter' from 9:30PM SLT (US Pacific) to 9:40PM SLT. During this period, people report Linden Dollar balances not loading, objects failing to rez, search failing, inventory not loading, some failed HTTP requests and outbound emails and the map and teleports unresponsive.
Over the last five minutes things have been stabilizing again. No word from Linden Lab yet that they are aware of the problem.
[UPDATE]
[10:00PM] - Linden Lab have acknowledged the problem, and identified it as packet loss on the (Level 3, presumably) network between the California and Dallas colocation facilities, and are investigating.
