Write a rule that deletes anything with facebook in it. There now you don't have to get upset. -----Original Message----- From: outages-bounces@outages.org [mailto:outages-bounces@outages.org] On Behalf Of John Von Essen Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 11:31 AM To: outages@outages.org Subject: Re: [outages] Facebook down? Yeah, but you dont need the outages mailing list to determine if facebook is down for your ISP constituents. Just bring up a browser, and if its down, its down! Testing over. Unlike an Sprint outage in Chicago, there is no easy way for me to test that, but a post on the list helps. -John On Nov 18, 2010, at 12:28 PM, Josh Luthman wrote:
Some operations do depend on Facebook.
It's good to know when you're running an ISP and customers say the Internet is down the same time you know Facebook is down.

I mentioned this to Virendra in that survey that was sent out, but why do we feel its important to track facebook being up or down? I find this list to be useful in tracking major IP outages between transit carriers. It goes directly to my NOC pager and all my NOC staff, and many times it has been very useful when people post about an OC-48 cut for ATT, or an XO outage, then our customers call us about issues and we know its not us and their carrier. I could care less whether or not Facebook is up or down. Facebook doesn't effect the rest of the internet like a Level3 or ATT outage, or or fiber cut in NYC. If you go to facebook.com and its down, then yes, its down. End of story. They are an endpoint on the internet. I'm not opposed to other sites being reported. If Google is down, thats big, because Google provides a ton email proxy services. Likewise, the post about register.com being down was very helpful because they provide core DNS services. These sites/networks effect the internet. But facebook is meaningless from an infrastructure/operations standpoint, and is a complete waste of time to discuss on this list.
