My husband and I woke up early this morning, and headed out to go to the bank, and to Tim Horton's to get some coffee and breakfast. He remembered a few more errands we needed to run, and we did not get home till late in the afternoon. By that time, I guess Facebook had been out for a couple of hours already. I hit refresh a few times, and made sure my app was updated, and it stayed out. I decided to go over on Twitter, and see what was what, and it turns out the facebook outage was trending. I found that ironic, but helpful. LOL
We spent the rest of the afternoon catching up on other business on line. I did some surveys, and a few other little things for money, then Facebook was back up. I'm still doing surveys and stuff. No rush to get back, but I'm glad it's up, running, and available again.
How did other Facebook users spend their Facebook-Free afternoon?
PS
It's all over Canadian news. I just saw it on CBC's Canada Tonight, and it'll be covered on CTV national news tonight at 11 PM EST

I love how we can see each other's countries on here. I can see you are definitely not in Eastern Standard Time. LOL I live in Ontario Canada, about 2 hours away from both the Niagara Falls and Detroit border crossings.

Well, it happened while we were on vacation and I did not notice the Facebook outage. We only wondered why we could not send any Whatsapp messages on that day but thought the wifi of the hotel was just crap.

I hadn't noticed. Probably because I was out all day, too.

Well, I slept, had a fight with my WI-FI , Watched the Great Food Truck Race with my husband and the cat, Played Pokemon go, Washed my hair, got online way later than I planned. I didn't even know Facebook and it's assorted apps had any downtime until I saw a few discussions on the subject.

Wasn’t affected at all. I gave up on facebook many years ago. It doesn’t rule my life.

Well I didn’t know anything till very late afternoon. So I didn’t miss much of anything. Pretty much took care of myself, then the kids when they got home. Did my daily normal online earnings abs that’s pretty much it.
