When a Site Crashes
I worked and enjoyed Dune Part Two during the Facebook crash. Sometimes LinkedIn does not work. Do something else. I have had trouble on various sites for various reasons.
AT&T was unavailable recently and LinkedIn was down on Wednesday. What happens when a site goes down? Go outside. Enjoy Discount Tuesday in an RPX theater. I wasn't planning to log on to the computer that morning.
If a site goes down when I'm out of town- it's not like the power going out. You have to reset your clocks when that happens. It is time for an impromptu Do's and Don'ts. when a site crashes
Do: Understand these things happen.
Don't: Post "The site went down."
Five hundred other people will do that. Even if you cannot recall a life before social media- there is more to the world than any given website. If Twitter goes down there will still be more antisemitism than there should be.
Do: Something different with your day.
Don't: Waste the day waiting for the site to come back up.
It is frustrating if you use this site for business. The system can go down on any job. On a dead end job it happened two or three times per week. People called as they always did and we really could not assist them.
That was upsetting. There was nothing we could do about it. I purposely took as much time as possible hoping the system issues (technical difficulties) were resolved.
No one that job was interested in resolving anything. It's called a breakup because it's broken. The system did not come up one Wednesday on my job. We stood around for fifty minutes. They still tried rushing us out of the building at the end of the shift.
They only reprimand the hard workers. None of which has to do with occasional blackouts. If Clubhouse had technical issues, who would know at this point? Nothing ages worse than technology. When sites go away or become irrelevant, they are mostly forgotten.
I met a lot of great people through Yahoo Groups. That is a relic of a distant yet timeless past. It is rare I log onto Yahoo now. It used to be one of the essential sites. It is almost a relic of another era. I cannot say if Facebook or LinkedIn will join them. Both sites serve a purpose. They should not be your only conduit to the outside world.
