Facebook: Service Unavailable
Posted by Rahul Bharadwaj | Posted in IT Industry, Review, Web | Posted on 24-09-2010
Today, while I was trying to access by facebook account (as usual) it threw an error: Serice Unavailable (find the screenshot below)
Later, just before it finally recovered:
This was the longest downtime that I have ever experienced with facebook, it was down in India for over 30 minutes.
There are quite a few things that come to my mind in this distressed situation:
- Is the downtime due to server overload or outrage?
- Has facebook neared it’s capacity with 500 million user?
- Are they making another revamp (for good)
- Has Google bought facebook?
- Wonder how this might have affected teenagers’ suicide rate.
- As Facebook is down, would Twitter be able to handle the extra load (do not worry about MySpace, no one goes there)
- Next day headlines could be, valuation of Facebook falls from 33,000,000,000 USD to 33,000,000 USD
What do you people have to say about it? Let’s see if facebook can “face” it

Internet vs Web

No, it’s not a battle to the death, just an opportunity to point out the distinction between these two words that are increasingly being used interchangeably.

- FOURDY Wlog! – Winning Best Elevator Pitch Award @ Kolkata Blogger’s Meet 2009
I have no clue from where to start it off and how to wind it up. But for present, I’m more concerned in explaining the exhilarating experience that me and my companions: Rahul Bharadwaj, Khushboo Nangalia, Shikha Kedia, Anurag Ahuja and Yogesh Goel (better identified by the populace at the meet as ygoel.com) had at the Kolkata Blogger’s Meet 2009 on 8th August, 2009 at Café Coffee Day, Salt Lake (Sector V), Near Adlabs Cinemas, Kolkata.
I couldn’t perceive how 5 hours flew like few minutes, and the programme was over. I only did when the Prize Distribution (which was supposed to be the last on the agenda) commenced and FOURDY Wlog (led by my brother Rahul) won the ‘Best Elevator Pitch Award’.

Kyakare? Our Event Calender
Posted by Chetan Bharadwaj | Posted in Chetan Bharadwaj, Clients, IT Industry | Posted on 08-08-2009
It has been about a year that I have been administering the content on kyakare.com. The whole work started as a “variation” of Content Writing (which I was into during that time). During the initial stages I teamed up with one other member of FOURDY SOLUTIONS, but lately I have been doing it by myself under the guidance of Baselal Killekar, Chief Editor at Kyakare.com. The project was routed by my brother, Rahul Bharadwaj as an extension of the development services that he provided to kyakare.

Web Industry discussion at Kolkata Blogger’s Meet
Posted by Rahul Bharadwaj | Posted in IT Industry, Kolkata | Posted on 03-08-2009
With internet becoming common, the disparity between the West and the East have started to reduce. Knowledge about almost everything is much easily available which in turn led to much faster development of Eastern nation like India, China and other surrounding countries. This has led to development of almost all industries, be it Iron & Steel, BPO, Hospitality, IT or any other. But, there is one thing that we still miss out, that is, we (eastern countries) are still dependent on the west when it comes to discovering or trend setting. As I am from the web industry, which is one of the most dynamic industries of the current times, I tend to feel that somewhere Indians are left out in the race. Read the rest of this entry »
