Widespread social media outages

[Myriads]

As of noonish EST today both Twitter and Facebook are down for most of the US. Reasons are yet unclear, though it might be an coordinated attack by Anonymous.

I'm sure some psycho-babble hacks will racing to publish papers on "Social Media Withdrawal Syndrome" or some such drivel, when folks start to fling themselves off bridges when they are denied seeing how many 'Likes' their latest bowel movement posting received.

Good god, people might have to look up from their phones for a a few days and see the actual world. OH HORROR!

My Twitter is working now.

Whatever powers that be seem to have gotten things back in order. Or perhaps the attackers got bored and wandered off in search of other fun. Who knows?
