Have you ever thought that why a Designer love to be called an Artist? No? I may explain why.
It is hence elementary to know where does ‘Designing’ hail from. Without any much ado, let’s dive into the evolution of the concept: Design is oriented from Art. It is but for only Art that designing is possible! The flair required in crafting an artwork could be scaled equally as in required for coming up with an attractive and a great design.

Wasn’t the old Facebook chat (the pop-up style) better than the new fixed sidebar style chat. Off-course it was! I am sure many of the users simply logged on to FB for keeping up with their social life via the chat system. And with the introduction of the latest chat scores of users started finding Facebook chat inappropriate.

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
