      I'm trying to use Open Site Explorer, but whenever I try to I get the error message "Ouch! It Looks Like Something Went South". Interestingly, I don't have this problem when entering a very popular site like google.com, yahoo.com, bbc.co.uk.

      Is there a problem with the tool at the moment, or something wrong on my end?

          I'm currently unable to use OSE as well.

          Also, the MozBar isn't working.

            We're having an issue with LInkscape right now, which OSE (and other tools) uses. We're working on it right now. Keep an eye on the SEOmoz twitter account (@seomoz) for updates.

              Yeah - it should be just temporary (think it was just a few hours this AM when our API servers through Amazon's cloud went wacky). We're working on ways to make them stable, even if/when Amazon's having issues.
