In super simple terms - your computer needs a roadmap to get to Facebook. Someone burned that roadmap.
when you type http://facebook.com into your browser there is a directory that converts it into numbers and looks for it. except its not there anymore.
Basically, anytime someone wants to go to, say http://Facebook.com they’re routed to a DNS server that says http://Facebook.com = some IP address (the actual number ID of a Facebook server). It’s like a telephone book for computers and somebody just poured whiteout on it.
Some of us never left, best place for ski talk.I think TheSkiDiva is poised to take over!
Exactly. So many small businesses use Facebook and the Messenger app to survive. I was in the process of ordering something from a wonderful home baker in Maine for Thanksgiving; we had finished discussing what I wanted, and I know she put it on her calendar, but it got me to thinking that is how so much is done. She doesn't even have my mobile number. The turkey I want to get from a local farm does everything through Facebook as well and they were supposed to be posting this week regarding that. I may take a spin by this weekend in person!I'm most sad about the Facebook Messenger app.
This is wreaking havoc on my daughter's work this afternoon; she interns for a Marketing firm and works in the social media group. As such, she spends a lot of time on Instagram for them - today is Tik Tok only.

It's a positive for me. I only went back into FB to keep up with my ski club's meetups and other events. But of course I have been sucked into messing on FB for hours and I do not need any more things to use up my time on the computer! (My FB friends, I love you all!)Honestly this is probably a positive for me, as I was spending an absurd amount of time looking at the memes, campaign posters, etc at the Fat Bear Bracket Tournament Facebook page.
