Facebook Won't Load. Panic Ensues

January 17, 2008 05:19 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link

For almost a WHOLE DAY, Facebook refused to work at three Georgia state schools, Penn State, Clemson, and probably a bunch of other schools that didn't find it important enough to write about.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good quotes of students freaking out, but I know you're out there.

Hi!

yeah, google running a beta test on Gmail! and it wouldn't load properly...

and once again i don't know why facebook won't load properly!

why change it to something that doesn't work????? frustrating users everywhere!

the gmail, was easy to fix, i went back to the older pre-beta version! i never asked to be a beta tester for any of these products! why did they do that to me...

now i can't even watch youtube vids on one of my favourite sites...
