The world of virtual friendship was at a standstill this afternoon.
If you went to your Facebook page to update your status, plant crops (you weird Farmvill-ians, you), or flip through photos of hot chicks you barely even know, you may have had some trouble.
For the second day in a row, Facebook suffered an outage, and now other social-media platforms are working overtime to satisfy the incessant need for virtual companionship.
In human terms, that means some people can get into their Facebook accounts, some people can't. For those who can log in, the Web site is slow, and nobody has any idea why.
To satisfy the craving for updating status, many Facebook addicts have taken to the B-squad of social media, Twitter, to laugh about Facebook going down.
Check out a compilation of some of today's Facebook-sucks-related Twitter updates, compliments of Wired, below:
