If you are having trouble getting on to one of your favourite social media sites, you’ll want to know if the website is down and other people are having the same problem.

Places to Check:

  1. Down right now – shows current status as well as recent uptime / downtime status history. However, this site may be unreachable when there is heavy traffic, like say, a Facebook outage. (DownRightNow.com)
  2. Down for everyone or just me – Shows current status of site. Reliable. (DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com)
  3. Twitter search – If Facebook is down, there will be tweets about it. (Twitter.com)

If no one else is reporting a problem, you could be the lucky first person to have the problem. More likely though, it’s time to do a bit of troubleshooting at your end — check your Internet connection and your web browser.

GooglePlus has done some updates, including changes to the size of the cover photo on profile pages. The new size is a 16:9 ratio, and the minimum seems to be 480 x 270. Since these can be animated, I had a look around to see if I had any video clips I could upload…

It looks rather strange when it’s stretched out full-size on G+ though!
