Apparently today Facebook was down for 2 hours and for some even more… I did not pick up long time on this since I do not use Facebook, but just accidentally I wanted something and I tried to load it and boom I got:

Not sure whether this is a localized event I went to twitter to see if others had this problem and man I was in for some good laughs. Here’s the collection of funniest tweets during the time that the Facebook was down:

Ant check out the Twitter trends. How “DNS Failure” sounds to you as a trend – huh?

UPDATE: Apparently it wasn’t just my “original” idea to collect funny tweets, many other websites did so as well, what is interesting that there are about 20-30 different tweets overall which just keep repeating from site to site. Are we short of funny twitter-ers? People obviously do care. Maybe they are just afraid Facebook coming after them in revenge? (just kidding of course, or am I?). Let me know what you think in comments.

2. Google Buzz a step forward to Google Wave?

Today many people that will open their gmail will be faced with the dialog about Google buzz. This is a new service from Google that in a sense makes your gmail inbox into twitter like account. But it is more than twitter like account. It includes conversations and embeddings from other sites like Picasa, Flickr, Youtube etc…

The interesting question marks that raised in my head are:

1. Is Google trying to compete with huge success of Twitter? (They are not trying to compete per se, they want the realtime information that’s available on Twitter and is not (yet???) available to Google.
2. Is this a step forward to Google Wave?

Maybe it’s actually both 1 and 2 and something else that we can not yet see in the big picture

Google Buzz is also available on Mobile:

And here’s the announcement of Google Buzz on the official Google blog
