Facebook is down. Again. Seems DNS failure is to blame. For some users, that's the second time this week Facebook has been inaccessible. :(
It's the latest in problems to beset the online world - earlier in the week Twitter (briefly) succumbed to worms that sent some link-clickers to slightly dodgy sites. Fortunately, most weren't affected and the hole was quickly patched.
And it seems foul play has also hit Iran. According to a report on the BBC News website, the Stuxnet worm has been infecting real-world Iranian infrastructure - from power stations to water plants.
So, is there a connection? Can the conspiracy theorists find a link? Or, are these instances all totally unrelated?
The Internet might not be grounding to a halt, yet... but is there real potential for that to happen? And who is to blame?
I'm glad I'm the one who gets to ask the questions and not answer them :-)
Meantime, can anyone remember how you actually talk to people, face to face?
