We fell on Facebook

Facebook's fall on Thursday, banal technical fault, came to the front page of newspapers around the world.
The situation at Site / Service Computer / hardware are not available for one reason or another is common in technology in general and the Internet in particular. Every surfer can easily recall in cases where access to the site where he used to visit blocked the range between a few minutes to several hours (in very extreme cases, sites deliberately disabled for several days, usually for a comprehensive upgrade). Feasibility of this is high, in this situation even though there are technological world: Down Time. Rare drop from the air of a site is considered news, especially if it is for a short time. But not every site in the world is Facebook. Last night we saw the fall of Facebook, even if it briefly, is the first new level.At around 21:00 the night before Facebook was not accessible. Surfers trying to access error messages received or not received anything. Technical glitch blocked site access. Facebook explained today that the problem caused by a small change made in the system, and created a loop of requests to accidentally flood information system, swirled it and finally dropped it. It did not take very long to fix the problem: Facebook was disabled for about two hours and a half in total. Apparently, no amount of time users had collapsed. But these two hours and a half well demonstrated how oxygen became our social network and how it is seen as important and central for the media.
As major news?When we discovered the problem on Facebook yesterday rushed to raise it within two hours of this knowledge has given more surprising was the amount of clicks the 'Lake' on it, when most of the time that this button was disabled due to any problem. Matter relevant section naturally our readers, especially when it comes to real-time reporting, which is a rolling update on the situation. Also Mataharino update on web-based, as befits the scene of bodies operating within the network, and they actually "neighbors" of Facebook.
But who bought this morning, after the fall rise again, the weekend papers can be impressed that this is not common and even technical problem "gray" in essence (falling short on a website is important. Really such a big deal?)
Like junkies in withdrawal
 Facebook is an important factor not only in the Internet world. Within a few years reached a situation in which social network has a noticeable impact on the world, and power to shape part of our lifestyle and culture in which our children grow up. Cover it regularly, even widely, it is nothing logically should. But it seems to echo received last night is already falling short kissing districts disproportion.I hope so, because I do not even really sure how the gas "Ma'ariv" inflated description (supposedly?) Of millions of frustrated users. I like to think the decision is incorrect change of a system that is not sufficiently well informed about the true size and importance of the topic. But Can it be that Maariv really just among the hundreds of millions of Facebook members was indeed a considerable amount actually felt like a junkie in withdrawal?Yesterday, Facebook's fall can be a good opportunity for a little soul for all of us - is our dependence on social networking is not excessive? I really do not first raised this question. The fact that most of us "Facebook addicts, who enter to check what's new on the site over and over again - is not new. It may be argued that this situation makes sense, considering the circumstances in which Facebook is becoming "the Internet" is actually the main trail network upon which we walk, and from out side paths in which distributed through the links. But after yesterday I think the issue should examine this dependence further. Are we really a situation where a fall of about two hours (only two hours!) Is a drama (or tragedy) who deserves to reach the front pages of newspapers? I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg Yeshmah to hear that this is true. We should be glad a little less.
