yawwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn

Well it seems its big news being down all over the world. How much money are they losing per minute? Also how much information are whoever is doing it getting from this?

this from an outage for about 20 minutes:


Quote:

It looks like the outage lasted from from about 12:08 p.m. to 12:27 p.m.. So for the 19 minutes no one could use it, Facebook just lost roughly $426,607.

$35,164,835 per day
$1,465,201 per hour
$24,420 per minute

This won't bother me and cods - we're the only two people in the world who don't use it  ;)

Gmail was down all over the world yesterday.

Looks like the cyber terrorists are practicing for a major attack.

I've predicted this for years.

Stay tuned.

The world would be a better place if FB and Twitter vanished. IG is okay. Gmail? I'd like to keep that.

Depends how you use them.
My wife and I have loads of family and close friends all over the world and it's nice to be able to stay in touch.

Twitter is great for schools and sporting clubs for announcements for weather cancellations and changes.

Oh.

I don't think I've seen that.

Is it the one where vacuous young females take selfies all day and send them to each other?

I Googled it:

"Instagram is a photo-sharing app. Those are a-dime-a-thousand, but Instagram was the first, best one. It's known for its square image format, its virtual lack of a website and, of course, those nostalgic filters. Instagram is for taking pictures, yes."

one of the new business platforms for the savvy entrepreneur

kylie jenner has monetised her IG following to the tune of a billion dollars.

Jenner's net worth is estimated at US$1 billion, making her, at age 21, the world's youngest self-made billionaire as of March 2019.

lucky she isnt using gweggie as her "life coach"  :D :D :D :D

attack? Funny, when I tried to log in this morning I got a message saying it was scheduled maintenance.

I use FB the same way but the WORLD would be better off without it, not necessarily me or you. I can't be bothered with Twitter. Instagram (IG) is visual and I enjoy posting and looking at photos there. That being said, I have a business that uses both FB and IG and it is a quite effective marketing tool.

I have family and friends all over the world too.

My phone, email, and letterbox haven't let me down yet.

I spoke to a relative in Austria about 4 hours ago - picked up the phone, dialed her number, and there she was.

Magic!

Yes, of course that's what they'll say.

They're hardly gonna say "Facebook is temporarily down due to a cyber attack which involves unknown persons, from unknown countries, downloading the personal information of millions of our users".

That is incredible, Gregg  ;D
I have a 1950's rotary phone in my office just for show (but it could work as the insides have been refurbished) and kids are amazed by it - the literally don't know how it works.

My daughter uses IG...all kids do.
Some of her friends are already doing the bum out selfies but she uses it for homework. They all chat about the fastest way to get their work for the evening done.

She is also on a surf chat group where they post when they're going for a surf and others join in.

So once again, it's the user not the platform .

Yeah I was reading a tech article that said they deny its a DDOS attack but it is actually a BGP route leak (different kind of attack most prolly).

I dont care about facebook but i think this is shaping up to be something very big in the personal data world.

IG (owned by FB) wasn't working properly a few hours ago.
