What is more upsetting? Facebook really broke the internet when it put a LOGIN WALL in front of content.

Why should I have to login to facebook to view that page?

Facebook broke the internet for completely different reasons.

So I'm getting the picture that Facebook didn't break the internet. Facebook broke a bunch of websites that made the intentional design decision to depend on Facebook for their own availability.

Is this right?

Right, like http://openpoke.org stayed up.

Another reason why Connect shouldn't be your only sign-in option. :)

Talk about timely, right?

I'm still awaiting the day when the Google CDN version of JQuery goes down.

In case others are wondering, its quite easy to make a "fallback" when using CDN scripts. For instance:

  <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.js"></script>  
  <script>window.jQuery || document.write("<script src='js/libs/jquery-1.6.4.min.js'></script>")</script>

Could save all such sites that rely on Google CDN jQuery

That's been one of my concerns, the best way to circumvent that issue is to do something like the following:

   <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
   <script>window.jQuery || document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/path/to/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));</script>

This way it will fallback to a local copy if Google's goes down.

[Edit: simonsarris replied with something similar as I was replying, however, the advantage of using unescape is that you don't get invalid markup warnings]

Is there a way to see this content without a facebook account?

Thanks! By the way: that app (I just downloaded Cloud) is really slick.

ah, sorry.. i didn't realize it was only devs that had access to the bug site

Kinda crazy how many sites rely on the Facebook JS SDK for login and other stuff. Definitely still ways to access the API, but if you don't have good fallbacks, you're screwed.

FYI the incident appears to have lasted from approx 6:55pm PST to 8:22pm PST for a total of 87 minutes.

What did Facebook break? My internet seems to have been functioning and still functions perfectly.

this is the second story on the front page right now claiming something "broke the internet". can we stop this sensationalist tripe before it goes any further?
