It is a sad state of affairs when, with ALL that is going on in our country and in the world, that the BIGGEST headline maker and worry yesterday was the simultaneous Facebook and Instagram outage.

You should have seen the panic in OUR building as none of us were able to do our required posting for our jobs. Kinda felt like "the good old days" before our lives were run by these things.

We heard someone on the "Today" show this morning joke that people didn't know what to do with their phones because FB and Insta were down.

Personally, I was amused by those who went to Twitter to complain about it.

By the way...the outage of both social media services (same owner) remains unexplained by the company. Hmmm...
