Mark Zuckerberg Is Up, Facebook Is Down - God's Lesson To Mark

Just days before the October 1st release of The Social Network, the movie about the creation of Facebook and the players behind it written by Arron Sorkin, Mark Zuckerberg is enjoying a crush of media exposure: he gave $100 million to the Newark School System, and at 26 he's a billionaire and richer than Apple's Steve Jobs.

Oh, and Facebook is down. "Facebook Isnt Working" is the third highest Twitter Trend as of this writing.

For some reason 500 million people can't get on Facebook. The Twitter speculation on the reasons are just plain funny:

Ludacris - RETWEET IF YOUR FACEBOOK ISNT WORKING
about 1 hour ago via web

AyyddG - i love the way @facebook has to use @twitter to tell everyone why it isnt working. #fail. 28 minutes ago via web

JimmySJay‎ - Kinda funny with all the #Mark Zuckerberg hype, #Facebook isnt working right now!
Twitter - seconds ago

fivedollarcouch‎ - mark zuckerberg must be holding facebook servers hostage to ensure that "The Social Network" doesn't get released
Twitter - seconds ago

Facebook is down. "Facebook Isnt Working" for this blogger either. For the third time in six minutes, this message appears:


Safari can’t open the page “https://login.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “login.facebook.com”.


The Fragility Of Wealth

Facebook's problems today show just how easy it is to achieve vast Internet wealth and just how quickly it is to lose it.

That "Facebook Isnt Working" is God's lesson for Mark Zuckerberg. A way of saying: be thankful and humble for what you have, because it can be taken away from you in a flash.

Hopefully, Mark gets the message.
