I love their latest tweet (1:35pm Eastern):

Status Alert: Hey, all. We're aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We're working on it.

That understates things by several orders of magnitude. It's not just their site that is down, it's their domain name servers, so most websites that bought their domain from GoDaddy are unreachable (unless you are working off of cached domain data).



Only if they bought from GoDaddy & also host their DNS there. If you host your DNS elsewhere (eg Dreamhost) your site is still up right now.

Most people who buy from GoDaddy probably host their DNS there as well though.
