We're out here too...
As reported on the web, this from the UK.In a rare outage, visitors to the Facebook website just before 5pm UK time were greeted with a message reading "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."
And users of the network's mobile apps saw a network error.
Facebook's down. If everyone could just tweet me their Candy Crush scores directly, that would help out a lot.

Interesting that you should mention that. The telegraph was considered too fast for the truth over 150 years ago in the mid-18th Century...
Perusing The New York Times archives a few days ago, I stumbled upon a delightful news nugget from 1858 about the "benefits and evils" of the transatlantic telegraph—delightful, because it reads like it could have been written today by a print nostalgist about the benefits and evils of the Internet.
Just try replacing "telegraphic intelligence" with "Twitter" or "online news," and you'll see what I mean:
"Superficial, sudden, unsifted, too fast for the truth, must be all telegraphic intelligence. Does it not render the popular mind too fast for the truth? Ten days bring us the mails from Europe. What need is there for the scraps of news in ten minutes? How trivial and paltry is the telegraphic column?"
The article was published on August 19, 1858, three days after the completion of the first successful test of an undersea cable that made North American communications with Europe possible in minutes rather than days. More from the Times: "That it will be of very great use cannot be questioned, but how will its uses add to the happiness of mankind? Has the land telegraph done any good? Has it banished any evil, mitigated any sorrow?"
In 1858, People Said the Telegraph Was 'Too Fast for the Truth'
Morse before Hams when people made money transmitting the news. I think eventually equilibrium will be achieved with the Internet but privacy, or the illusion of privacy, is history any way you look at it.
