In what was the longest Facebook outage in recent times, social media fans faced having no Facebook for all of twenty minutes. In that period, experts tell us that workplace productivity went up by 200%.
Just imagine, if Twitter and Facebook went down together, we’d have to go out and actually talk to people face to face. *shudder*
With the Facebookless masses rushing to Twitter to feed their fix, I asked my Twitter followers the things they did when Facebook was down.
