29/10/2008 Good old facebook has booted a few Tokyo techies off their website (I think it’s just a glitch though). Maybe a sign from the Japanese Gods that we should be using mixi （＊＿＊）

Interesting check as to how much one depends on facebook, please check which apply:

1. How dare you disable my account, do you realise how long it took me to build up a million friends?
2. Bummer, no one can contact me now
3. Good, less procrastination
4. Like I give a shit. I’m used to facebook deleting things e.g. when they deleted the killer app I spent a few weeks working on

Update: Japanese techies affected aswell

Update 2: Word from facebook, they want to verify my identity:
