Mine was fine at 6:00 Central Time (US).  Not much of interest on it but it was working ROFL!

LOL!!
 
Very true. 
 
While I do know several people for whom Facebook now servers the their primary way to communicate with family and friends (Myself included to be honest.  My family does not call, they Facebook PM, so I do check it a few times a day), it IS just Facebook: phones, email, every other of the inumberable forms of internet communication still work just fine.  In my case, when it is out, I don't worry, as I only check messages a few times a day anyway.  Just come back in a couple hours.

I'm not sure @  I tried to check mine, but "#facebook est mort, moi aussi" :p
 
I remember about 18 years ago, we were all busily at work when one of the main circuit breaker panels went "POP"... it was 11:50AM.  All 'puters were off-line.  At lunch, everyone was commenting that they had never seen the cafeteria that crowded before! 😉
