Twitter’s Down and Facebook’s Slow

It’s not just your computer: Twitter has been inaccessible this morning, apparentlybecause of a denial-of-service attack. And Facebook’s been either sluggish or unresponsive; for instance, I’ve had trouble opening my inbox, and many news-feed links haven’t worked. So you might as well stop hitting the “refresh” key over and over and accept the situation for what it is.

It’s normal to get angry about downtime at a site you use every day, but in this case it might not be a bad thing. The world won’t end while Twitter and Facebook right themselves; why not take this opportunity to catch up on some chore you usually postpone in favor of updating your status or reading other people’s updates at these sites? Why not try to remember what you used to do with your time before these sites made their way onto your bookmarks list?
