BBC – Newsbeat – Facebook crash is ‘worst in four years’.
So were you impacted by the facebook crash yesterday? Suddenly after a few futile attempts to log on I realised my facebook fix was going to have to wait until the next day. Suddenly I was free, free from my screen, free from requests and looking at peoples status’s, free from refreshing the screen to see what had changed and free from gettiing Farmville requests 🙂
Actually it was a little frsutrating at first but then I suddenly had some time to do other stuff. Stuff that normally comes second to checking on facebook.
How much time have you been investing in looking at a screen and what were you able to do last night for this two hour window when facebooking (is that a verb now?) wasn’t an option.
I must confess that the first thing I did was go straight to Twitter to check on the status of facebook. Seems rather odd when we look at this behaviour in the cold light of day. So now at least I know I can survive without Facebook, but only if I am writing about it using this blog 🙂 or checking how facebook is using Twitter.
Enjoy your non tech moments… who knows when there’ll be another one 🙂
