Yep - this topic keeps getting flagged too - something fishy

• sriram_iyengar 10y ago
  Yes. Indeed.

  Probably because an entertainment website going down isn't particularly newsworthy.
  • jonobird1 10y ago
    It's Facebook. The entire world is practically on the site. So yeah, it is newsworthy.
    • flukus 10y ago
      What will tomorrow's headlines be? "Popular, non critical website unavailable for several minutes"?
      • bdcravens 10y ago
        How many startups talked about here use Facebook as a login option? I'd assume that makes their service unavailable for a non-trivial number of users.
        • flukus 10y ago
          Good point. I suppose that's a valuable lesson in relying on third parties for critical functionality.
    • oblib 10y ago
      Yeah, FB being down is certainly news, and tech news as well.
