It's unclear when the outage began. PCWorld has not been able to reach Facebook for comment, but Mashable reports the company has confirmed the outage.'"

    Email works fine and it doesn't go OFF LINE and it will reach most people most of the time as opposed to a single service like FB. How about that?

    Yes, email is a much more valuable resource than FB.

    Also if you have to notify 50 people of something, it better be either some business thing, then FB is not the right media or it's a party, and then if you are using FB for it and it's down the party is off, so big loss, whatever.

    How can you be sure your FB messages aren't sent to the void by their filters?

    if I haven't seen her for a few years

    I question your motivation for reconnecting. If you haven't seen her in years and don't know her phone number, do you really care that this person exists?

    I think Facebook attempts to push the bar about whether or not you care about people who you consider "friends" to all-time low levels.
