Facebook down? Again? What is their availability plan?

image As did many users this morning, I tried to login to Facebook this morning only to find the message displayed on the right – sorry, we’re down for maintenance.  I’ve been too busy in the last couple of days here at the conference to go onto Facebook, but I’ve seen a number of messages on Twitter that people have been having problems getting into the site over the past couple of days

Given that Facebook wants to be the “social operating system”, the question is – what is their plan for being available?  Are they having scaling issues?    If people come to use Facebook as a communication medium, what plans does Facebook have in place to ensure that it is available when people want to communicate?

    I think that facebook is outgrowing its pants in my opinion. It’s time to try some other social networks.

    It’s the same scaling problems that all social sites go through. I’m sure that Facebook will get it fixed eventually. We shouldn’t be like the Cool Kids: They find an out-of-the-way club; tell all their friends how cool it is; their friends tell Their friends; the club gets full every night; the Cool Kids say,” Gee, there’s too many people. It’s not Cool anymore.”, & go off to find a new place…which they tell their friends about; etc. lol
    It might take weeks or months, but they’ll git ‘er done.
    Love & Peace, Clarence
