Well, you don't have to panic anymore, but for a few minutes Facebook was dead.
ahh, so scary! Even though I do not use desktop facebook, so I didn't have to deal with it.
I use mobile facebook app and that app never dies, but the website actually went down for a little bit.
My mom came in asking me if I could try and pull up any of the games on Facebook because nothing was coming up for her and then we found out that the entirety or facebook and also the facebook gameroom were down.
I looked on Twitter and people were freaking out and posting pictures. Just a few days ago Twitter was actually down.
It amazes me the reaction of what happens to people when a website is down. It would be nice if sites like twitter and facebook would announce when they do a maintenance, but I guess that would also make them vulnerable to hacking or whatever.
I hope everyone survived the facebook blackout, I hope you can keep on going, scrolling aimlessly.

Facebook wasn't down for that long but Twitter was done for a while but I think both mobile apps were up.

I never notice when some site goes down 'cause i'm not always online. Did you lost any information or important conversation?

I am not a regular visitor on Facebook and it does not affect me if it is down. I find that some people are so addicted to facebook that they are always logged in to it and keep updating every little detail about them on their pages.

@DesirousDreamer You mean to say that you check your FB page through your mobile, that too not on regular basis.

That's the weakness of the internet/website system 'cuz some very nasty people could sabotage the whole system.

Haha it normally just goes down because they are updating something or flushing out the servers.
