    As you've probably noticed, Facebook has been down all day. Not down exactly, but minimally functioning. There is some information about in this USA Today articles, although few details as to the cause of it. Tech Crunch has an article on it, as well.

    I had made a mistake it is not life lock but lifelog I guess it has something to do with old age.
    When lifelog was going to be implemented the government said it was to risky that they might get caught so the day they stopped was the day facebook started..

    Yes, I have also read about that, and I think that Life-lock is one of the services to prevent identity theft, of I remember right. It is totally different than the DARPA life-log, which was the government program to learn about and record what people are doing.
    Facebook probably does an excellent job of that, at least for the people who use it a lot.

    My facebook is still not working correctly, even this morning; so Facebook must still be doing the data dump , or whatever it was that they had going on yesterday. I kept getting error messages , and sometimes could not even put a like on something.

    I understand that Facebook was embarrassed when they had to Twitter to announce their outage.:)

    I found it funny how many people said they thought they had been banned for being bad .. now .. what exactly are you doing that might warrant you being banned?
