We’ve added a new poll that asks “How would you rate Facebook’s customer service?”. We feel this is a topic that you all are very opinionated about. The poll is located in the sidebar on the right side of this page. Vote now to see how Facebook users like you rated Facebook’s customer service.
It’s like you were chosen out of the loser lottery when you tried to open your Facebook account and received a “site maintenance” display. If you were one of the 150,000 unlucky winners you’re probably back at ease since you can log in again. Or aren’t you?
Facebook announced today that the weeklong outage has been repaired yet some of us will find that postings, photos, contacts and personal information may be missing or inaccurate. Missing, where has it gone? Better yet, why the outage? Oh, you mean the technical issue. Well, that explains it all then.
If you’re like me, you look further into the question of “why”. Not that Facebook would explain anything further than” technical issues”. Let’s be honest, the World Wide Web is sort of a life line for many of us. So easily we put our trust into the sites we choose to post our personal information on. We do our banking there, our online shopping, networking, resume posting, vacation planning and well, pretty much anything. You can virtually do anything on the web.
So, it makes you wonder when you see that your Facebook status has reverted from married back to single. Don’t be fooled, everything you post on Facebook, has been saved somewhere in the virtual world. Take it for what it is and be weary of what and how much personal information you release. Even though this outage wrecked havoc on your day to day obsession with Facebook, positively speaking, this is an eye opener and maybe we should thank them for the lesson well learned. All I’m saying is that there is always a positive in a negative, if you know how to look on the bright side.
