Facebook goes down, users in shock without it

[nero_bolt]

THE world’s popular social networking site of Facebook has gone down tonight across the world, leaving users unable to log in.

Users have hit Twitter to express their angst about the site being down, after they got this error message from Facebook.

It is not clear what is causing the outage yet.

is it a bad thing that i ask my son, who is in a room 6 feet away from me, what he wants for dinner via facebook messages?

Not at all. It's very considerate of you. If you yelled to him you might disturb the neighbours

No!

I wish I could do that!

I can usually find my children if I follow the trail................. I can check on my grandaughter's horseriding lessons via fb, my grandsons' sporting and school activities, their school events, all without having to call anyone, it serves a purpose for special needs support groups where mums and dads are housebound, the possibilities are endless.

However, I don't take it out with me and I don't know any fb addicts.

Of course it is.  How would he ever live it down with his friends?

You have to ask him via a text message.

his friends can't see his messages - and text messages cost 1 cent each  lol

I didn't know that.  I don't do facebook.

there is a private messaging system on there as well as the 'wall' which is open to friends viewing.

a chat box pops up and you type away to each other - like msn and other instant messaging programs
