It's been a notable year for Web outages. From Netflix going down at extremely inopportune times, to Amazon Web Services' multi-day breakdown in the spring, Internet services are still seemingly as unreliable as ever. SmartBear Software just published its list of the top Web Outages of 2011, and there are some memorable ones on there. It should be noted, though, that only outages that weren't caused by a third party made the list — hacks like the one that took out Sony's PlayStation Network weren't included.

Good news for the Net in general, though: SmartBear reports that the number of significant outages is actually lower than in 2010. No need to go ballistic.
