In case you haven’t noticed, pretty much the entire Internet broke today. Hackers attacked Twitter, which was down since 9 a.m. this morning and is still working only intermittently, several hours later. Facebook also came under attack, and although it seems to be working for some users, others are unable to update their statuses or post items to their walls.
The Associated Press’ article about the outage snidely mentions that “for Twitter users, the outage meant no tweeting about lunch plans, the weather or the fact that Twitter is down.” (As we’ve previously seen, the AP tends not to be a fan of social media.) Except that some of us were actually prevented from getting a bunch of our work done today. How frustrating.
