Facebook is down.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Decentralised social networks with nomadic identity and near realtime mirrors/snapshots. It's not just a good idea. It's a bloody great idea.

Krebs has an interesting tidbit... apparently the folks with the ability to fix the problem got locked out because apparently the card readers on their buildings use DNS to access Facebook employee resources, as do the work-from-home folks. We'll likely be using this incident as teaching and training aid of how not to design a reliable network for years to come...
