Yesterday's 6-hour Facebook/Whatsapp/Instagram outage has been a fun one to watch. Someone at Facebook really made a huge mistake with their DNS, bad enough to bring down their internal systems, too.

Some of my favorite moments during this time (on Twitter of course):

- "People making jokes about the Facebook services going down make me sick. Anyone who was using an Oculus headset at the time is currently trapped in VR, and if they die there then they die in real life." (link)

- "oh facebook's not working? did you try unplugging it and leaving it unplugged forever?" (link)

- A bevy of Spirit Halloween images, here's one: (link)

- Plums in the icebox: (link)

- "Facebook.com is for sale!" @jack: "How much?" (link)
