As I wrote earlier, Facebook Has crashed yet again this afternoon. It is interesting to watch as people post on other social media platforms, like Twitter, showing their frustrations over the downtime. Facebook, with a member base over half a billion people, yes 500,000,000, certainly has a large impact on the days and the lives of internet users around the globe. Although it is possible that Facebook may return to normal by the time we publish this very article, I thought it was interesting what some people around the globe were posting about the downtime on Twitter.

- Oh Facebook, of course you would be down right now…I’m so disappointed in you. I guess I’ll have to seek temporary distraction elsewhere
- Facebook Is Down.. Major Epic Fail
- So, facebook is down. I guess I am getting drunk tonight.
- I hate when facebook is down. I become obsessed with trying to see if it’s back.
- FACEBOOK DOWN YET AGAIN!!! TIME 2 MASSES 2 MOVE ON2 DIFFERENT, RELIABLE NETWORK!!!
- When the little ones nap I enjoy my hour of computer time so it really sucks when facebook is down.
- Facebook is down, MySpace is boring, and Digg won’t let me sign in. Internet you’re failing me!!!!!
- Yeah, Facebook is down. Get over it. Life will go on.

I think the last one sums it up quite well. The site has had issues for just over an hour now, yet some people are acting as if we just entered World war III and the new enemy is Zuckerberg and Facebook. For me, however, the site is loading fine.
