My own personal productivity just went up 12.9%. (It would be more, except that there's both a Boston Terrier puppy and an Italian greyhound playing on the grass outside my window - squeeee!)

This is a movie tie-in isn't it? I'm imagining Aaron Sorkin having a rigorous walk-and-talk somewhere while bouncing a tennis ball gleefully against the ceiling...

Company field trip to see the new movie. The only person left in the office is Zuck, sadly tapping away on a lonely keyboard, refreshing to see if he has any new friend requests because lately his count seems to be dropping.

Today's outage has affected Facebook 'Like', 'Recommend' and 'Share' buttons used by many websites around the world.

Yes, it has. If just a few of those go away, then some good was done.

The Facebook Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from social networking. Facebook begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, September 23rd. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
