According to Scrappleface,
Twitter & Facebook Crippled, Jonas Bros. Reported Safe
August 7th, 2009 by Scott Ott
(2009-08-07) — A day after unknown Russian hackers took down Twitter, and crippled Facebook, a spokesman for the Jonas Brothers said the Disney pop trio was “exhausted, a little freaked out, but resting safely in an undisclosed location.”
For several hours yesterday, as a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack clogged social networking servers worldwide, the life-sustaining connection between Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas and their adoring global fan base was severed, reducing communications to archaic tools like email.
Experts say children were hardest hit.
“I have no idea what Nick had for lunch yesterday,” said an 11-year-old girl from Passaic, NJ. “Is he okay? Did he get enough to eat? Does he like arugula? Was he thinking of me? I just don’t know. I feel so isolated. I almost took out a pen and wrote him a letter, but since I only communicate by text, IM and Twitter, I don’t really know all of my vowels yet.”
Agents for Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana said they could not confirm the condition of their clients, but assured reporters that once they re-established communication, they would Tweet.

I think there's a "Real Men of Genius" commercial out there somewhere. "Mr. Facebook over updater", or something like that. I have a couple of friends that post everything they've done or are going to do. Sorry, don't care! Just walked the dog in the rain? Wow,.....Awesome!  |

I think just now i just use it to test things are work (Barracuda Web Filter - so if something doesn't work i need a login to all those sites - hence i had to sign up for facebook and somehow my friends found me). Also once in a while i post funny videos/pictures on it...
It'd just another one of those sites - just like myspace and others it will go away fairly quickly.
