    Even the Big Guy can be brought to his knees

    October 4, 2021. Facebook, the worlds largest (by far) online social networking company, is DOWN WORLDWIDE! Cause unknown (not reported - yet).

        I am losing $$$ (along with at least thousands of others) since I can't work on 2 or 3 of my jobs
        I am not crying though.

            With roughly 2.89 billion monthly active users as of the second quarter of 2021, Facebook is the biggest social network worldwide.
            I guess FB feels that 2.89 billion people is only some people.

              @Claydoh, my tears and laughter are not aimed at you. While I'm sorry for your current loss, having a Plan B should be obvious. Something about keeping all your eggs in one basket comes to mind. Can you switch to another comm channel with your clients? You have some strong arguments to present in support of making such an alternative available between each of you.

              All of us can benefit from this lesson. Pain is a great teacher. I'm Not being factious here. Will you be ready for the next time this happens? Because it will happen.

                Luckily these are side gigs of sorts. I can find others.
