Twitter and Facebook Hit With Denial of Service Attacks

They did. But the fallout and EMP from the nukes hit Facebook. That's why it wasn't as bad for them. MySpace, being owned by Rupert Murdoch, was of course safe in its cold war bunker/command center (helping to coordinate the efforts, no doubt).
4chan is chaos, and chaos accomplishes nothing. Normal people don't go there. It sits in its own little corner of the internet and doesn't really do much. Twitter and Facebook have penetrated into mainstream thought and changed the way normal people live their everyday lives...and I believe they did so in a very negative way.oneniesteledain said:
Well stated.
However, I fundamentally disagree. Social networking sites are an obvious extension of human social evolution. We evolved as (or were created as, take your pick) social animals. As technology has changed so has culture, at least in the Western world. I used to literally waste hours every sleepless night on MySpace, but I did so because I was bored and I had nothing particularly special to do. The reason I spent so much time on MySpace is because I was deployed, and it kept me in contact with people in the real world during what is invariably a very lonely time. I see nothing negative about that.
And now, I have no need for the site. I barely use it, so little that I decided it would be utterly pointless to get a FaceBook.

4Chan seems to be on another one of its raids, I see. I can't decide whether to be amused or exasperated.
Any news on who the hackers responsible for this might be?

I believe Krakyn was referring to those who spend every waking hour on myspace/facebook, racking up countless friendz, but those same people can be found in absolutely any medium that's connected the net...say forums or MMOs (LEIK PSO!!), so that does negate the point.oneniesteledain said:
If anything though, I don't particularly like those networking sites myself either, but I believe that stems from a desire to be alone, most of the time anyway.
well its either Anonymous or these guys:The_Oracle said:
If you got this joke then you're awesome.
Twitter and Facebook?
I'm surprised no one has guessed the obvious:
Microsoft started testing their Xbox 360 integration code. Needless to say, there were a few bugs...
