Yesterday we lost LinkedIn for a bit. How did it impact YOU? I am so grateful that I wasn't running a class or consulting session at the time. I did have someone start texting me with a LinkedIn problem that was connected to the outage. This all comes on the heels of the Facebook outage the day before. What is going on? And how do you cope? #linkedin #socialmedia
It was my excuse to jump into plan B, Sandra Long, a yard work day, getting the land ready for spring. Pictured below are my backyard buddies, who were helping me trim the overgrowth down, yesterday.

Sandra, when I couldn’t connect on any device I decided it was like the Facebook outage. It’s crazy.
I thought it was me, and moved onto writing in my notebook like the wild wild west days. It wasn’t until way later I realized it was an actual thing 😅
I slept through it, missed the panic this time. :)
I nearly tossed my phone it was so disruptive.
The LinkedIn outage was definitely unexpected! Thankfully, I didn't have any urgent tasks or sessions scheduled during that time either.
Socials having a rough week! Sandra Long

1yIt was one of the worst and scariest moments of my life! 😱 Seriously, though...😁 my first reaction was that I'd been hacked. Which is what I thought the day before when I was locked out of Facebook. So, it is a good reminder to first think: "It's not me...it's them" before freaking out or scrambling to change all your passwords, etc. A valuable tip is to simply remember to go to the DownDetector website to see if there is an outage, and just do other things until it is fixed: https://downdetector.com/
