Boy, I didn't realize it was such an issue. I've only had maybe 5 minutes of down time total today that I noticed, and I figured it was the corporate network I'm on. Still working for me... although my news feed is quite sparse!
The above post is my opinion. Don't like it? Don't read it.

It just means I'll waste my time online elsewhere......
I'm sure there's folks who are freaking out because they've can't play Mafia Wars, Farmville, or Airline Manager (someone may need to check on a few A.nutters who play.....).
This outage has been going on in spurts since yesterday. Throw in the Twitter spam hack attack on Tuesday and it's been a rough week for social networking sites.

37 alwaysontherun: You have my support too! Let's start a social network site for people that live without Facebook!! ###"I'm always on the Run"###

44 ajd1992: Well, technically, they're either rioting or working, they can't do both.
