Datacenter outage in Sunnyvale brings down Friendster

By mhalligan on Thu, 11/13/08 - 3:20pm.

A friend of mine just called me to tell me that QTS's Sunnyvale had a major power event today. Details are slim, but apparently it was an entire site outage. He told me that he's about 50th in line to get access to the facility right now. Due to this outage, Friendster is offline right now.

yep..how long will it take...

Oh thanks, actually you're the only one online that provided an answer for me regarding Friendster. I was in the middle of uploading photos. And suddenly, freeze. Tried to reload page, used different browsers, reboot comp., etc., called my friends to find out that theirs wasn't working too. But nobody could answer as to why and why this long
Friendster would not load. So, thanks a lot for this.

Thank-you so much for the information

Hi,

I would just like to say thank-you.

I live in New Zealand and I thought it could be
our ISP not linking in.

Looks like more than a simple case of crashing into the EPO with a palette jack.

Right now they are probably trying to figure out what to do with all their tape backups since the tape drive was sent to China for disassembly last spring.

If my q'zillian friends disappear from my profile it will only prove how shallow we are.

Friendster has been down for over 24 hours now, but I was able to access once and discovered all but three of my over 1000 friends had been deleted.

I think some one spilled tuba in the zenerdiodeifier gizmo.

HAHA All your friends were deleted! As if they were REAL FRIENDS

This should've been call Aquainstancer since everyone in friendster is just trying to show-off that they're well-liked. Be truthful. Just because you know a person, doesn't mean they're really your friend. If you have more than 1000 friends, you must be so lonely that you don't have a single real friend to hangout with that's not online.

Friendster IS MY LIFE and the only way for me to contact all my family and friends. I do not appreciate you saying they are not my friends. I have over 10,000 friends DELETED and I love them and they love me all the same. I hope Friendster will be fixed soon.
