Twitter and Facebook and possibility more became the victims of denial of service attacks, which we don't have much of an answer to today. We only know that its slowing down Facebook and had Twitter failwhale (no service) for two hours! Now I would say I am avid user of both, but to say, I wouldn't say upset, but more like a tad bit of an inconvenience because of Twitter do use their API (Application programming interface) to access third party applications.
Their reasons thus far: unknown.
Speculations for now are: According to Bill Woodcock of Packet Clearing House (a nonprofit
organization tracking Internet traffic), the attack wasn’t a traditional
DDoS attack using automated bots, but one conducted through a wave of
spam email messages that hit Twitter (Twitter), LiveJournal, and other
websites. On top of that, it looks like YouTube.
To is some crazys aiming @ Twitter?
Could it be a virus?
Google is assisting Twitter and Facebook to investigate the denial of service attack
hmm, we will eventually find out an answer somehow sometime hopefully soon! :(
I don't know how Facebook really does in other areas such as: supporting non-profits and support groups? In terms of school friends, I find it as a mixed bag! Due to the reason of a mix bag of privacy from Facebook, some decided to head to Ning network to socialize. Some have their own networks or Twitter! I also take the advantage of live streaming of information from Facebook rather than doing much of the major connections of friendships. (there are only a few that I do!)
For the next two weeks- you
will be transferred to the new version of- the new Facebook. Facebook
has been testing on this new version on selected few for a number of
months. The result: mixed. Oblong homepage to start with. There are
glitches to work out. I posted a message to their feedback. The rest of
the layout, I can live with the layout, it is not that Facebook lack of
imagination, rather, they have a ton of third party applications. I am
posting some of the pages of mine of the new Facebook layouts
