My issue with Facebook is that EVERYONE uses it as their central communication platform, so if Facebook is down, I cannot get in touch with anyone I know, and I can only imagine the repercussions if there was an emergent communications need.
It was… There was an about 6h long outage. I felt for the people who use these medias for their business, but it was really funny to check simple users freaking out. *Big hugs* dear Madame Suze 🙂
Hehehe… Yes, their services were suspended for about 6 hours. Can’t say I suffered from it either. But I hope WordPress will never close for that long 😛
Good for you, Sadje 🙂 I missed Instagram a little, especially when I saw some comments saying the outage could last for weeks (??). But it is back already. All’s good 🙂
Well, all these medias are owned by FB, and I don’t know what happened exactly, but all of Facebook’s services were shut down for a little more than 6 hours, worldwide. Not that bad, if you ask me, but it is a bit scary, to think that such a large company could get locked down…
I didn’t notice. I had already taken my turn in Scrabble before it went down, and taking my turn in Scrabble is pretty much the only reason for me to go on FB. Apart from that I usually avoid it like the toxic cesspool that it is.

It gives me inspiration to do something other than use social media all day long. 🙂
