Updated Facebook app for the iPhone is out, but no iPad version yet. That’s disappointing. I’ve had glitches every time I updated the Facebook app, so here’s what I’ve been doing:
* Delete existing Facebook app
* Power phone off and then back on again
* Install updated Facebook app from the App Store
* Enjoy!
The past few times I’ve left the phone on and just updated the app, I’ve run into some quirks. This has been the safest way so far. It might not occur in iOS 4, so we will see.
Hot on the heels of Facebook 3.1.1 for iPhone comes Facebook 3.1.2.
The release note say:
Check the App Store for updates. I installed it earlier today and haven’t had any issues with it so far. I do not have the Contact sync feature enabled because I found it to be more annoying than anything. The Blackberry application had the same feature and it usually made a mess of my address book. People also change their profile photos rather often and I’d rather be able to set my own contact photos.
Anyway, give it a try and if you notice any issues, let us know in the comments.
“The distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks that knocked out Twitter for hours and affected other sites like Facebook, Google’s Blogger, and LiveJournal on Thursday continued all day Friday and may persist throughout the weekend.”
PCWorld reports.
This is too bad. There are reports that the reasons behind it are politically motivated too. The PCWorld article tells a little more about it.
So, Facebook and Twitter and apparently LiveJournal are acting kind of strange and experiencing intermittent failures. Google owned Blogger seems to be ok.
Reports are that Twitter and Facebook have been suffering a DDoS attack, causing both sites to fail intermittently.
Twitter seems to be back up, but Facebook is still spewing out errors on occasion.
No, the entire internet is not down. It’s just a few well known websites experiencing this problem.
