Glitch, high traffic knock Postal Service tools offline

Glitch, high traffic knock Postal Service tools offline: "A computer glitch and a huge amount of traffic combined to knock various U.S. Postal Service Web-based services offline this week.

The problems started Monday morning, according to Michael Woods, a spokesman for the Postal Service. He noted that several different online tools, including the Postal Service's popular Click-N-Ship service, were suffering outages. Some of the services were taken offline to let technicians work on the problem.

Woods said the service's IT workers weren't yet sure what caused the service problems but said that all of the services except for Click-N-Ship were back functioning properly by this morning"
