No Tweets on Twitter, no face on Facebook
p2pnet news view P2P:- By an interesting coincidence, Twitter has stopped twittering and Fa$ebook functionality has failed.
Both more or less at the same time.
Says Twitter, “Site is down [47 minutes ago] “We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly.”
Fa$ebook isn’t saying anything, but p2pnet reader Lily observes, “I`ve been trying to do the same thing too. Except in my case, I can`t even login sometimes.”
“Me too,” says Fenn. “Same as Lily.”
Dearie me. What’ll we DO !?
“this is the end of internet,” Javier reckons.

Read a book?
Ride a bike? Go for a walk? Cook a non-instant meal?

Good. The internet would be a better place without either of these sites.

One of many reasons I chat with my friends by using IM and multi-protocol clients (Kopete, Pidgin, Trillian) on both ends… if one network (or XMPP/Jabber/GTalk account) goes down, it can just fail over to another.
Of course, we also throw in OTR-based oppotunistic crypto on top of things like GTalk’s client-to-server SSL so I can usually confuse any potential listeners without added hassle.
