I am one of thousands that has been facing this:
for the past week when I try to log on to FB. Yes, an entire frigging week. Lesson 1: FB has no business continuity plan, proactive customer service or complaints management process - judging by my own experience in emailing their "help" (hahahaha) desk and by the chatter in other parts of the internets. For the first few days the message said it would be fixed "in a few hours" ...
Now, I am not someone who depends on FB for advertising a business or anything critical like that. But, as an expat living half a world away from many friends and all family, it is a bit of a web 2.0 lifeline. Pathetic? Maybe. But there you have it. Actually, FB had largely filled the space that this blog was meant for - and yes the blog was suffering inattention *hanging head in shame*. But everyone who ever came here to see which teeth Kid was losing or what I was making for dinner or where we had been camping could see it on FB so I was just putting shit there instead. Makes me now realize that perhaps I should come back here, to good ole Typepad with the more crucial newsy bits instead ... I mean, who really gives a rats ass if it rained after I hung out the wash (a typical FB status update) ... but when I have a gem like this:
I think I need to put it here, which has proven over the years to be virtually unaffected by service disruptions, etc. (That would be Lesson 2.)
