Internet Meltdown?
« on: December 10, 2012, 06:35:03 PM »
At 5PM this evening, Facebook has become inaccessible. So I went and checked the website Down Right Now to find out what's going on. That too has been inaccessible (You know there's trouble on the web when Downrightnow.com is literally Down Right Now. When I finally accessed the site a few moments ago, I saw that Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Gmail, and Hotmail has been having service trouble this evening. (Most of the status messages read "Likely Service Disruption")

Is the internet having a meltdown?

Probably just a coincidence, there is another website to check that... http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Could have been a regional issue. I didn't notice any issues here
