Facebook appears to be down for many users across the globe. Not everyone is affected, however. In fact, the News-Banner Facebook profile and page are both working properly even as I write these words...(knock wood.)
However, for many, many people, their day has officially started on the wrong foot. And they are voicing their dismay at this turn of events on Twitter, making #FacebookDown a Trending Topic.

Elin Nordegren Trends on Twitter
Watching celebrities crash and burn is a sure-fire way for the rest of us to feel better about our lives. Although celebrity divorces are never fun, no matter how bad our own relationships are. We want to know some folks manage to find a way to be happy.
Guess it just wasn't in the cards for Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren. Their divorce was finalized this week. Despite her reticence to speak of the issues in her marriage before the divorce was finalized Elin is speaking out now. And Trending on Twitter. (#Elin)
I wouldn't be surprised if she starred in her own reality show on Bravo! channel next season....
@funnyordie Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren's divorce is final. Maybe now he can get back to doing what he loves: playing 18 hoes.

Why do I like you? Glad you asked...
#Ilikeyoubecause is the latest hastag Trending on Twitter. The answers run the gamut from sweet and sincere to, well, not so sweet and sincere.
It is the type of subject which forces us all to think about the people we are friends with and the reasons we are friends with them.
Or perhaps, just the opposite....
@AlfredoFlores #ilikeyoubecause you act yourself and don't change around other people :)
@JASMINEVILLEGAS #ilikeyoubecause you are just as crazy as me so it makes me appear normal ;)
@bukkii_tohchoco #ilikeyoubecause u apologize for something thats not even ur fault

Twitter follows Phillipine hostage crisis
Once again Twitter has proved itself a breaking news source, as followers around the globe turned to the website for the latest news regarding the hostage crisis in the Phillipines.
The crisis has ended, but the theories as to what actually happened and why, have only just begun....
@iloveZHOUMI The hostage taker in his crazy ordeal is just ONE man. Please do not blame the Philippines or Filipinos for this ONE man's crime.
@flackr 'Manila police kill bus hijacker': Local media reports the hostage-taker, a sacked (via @AJEnglish; 7 msgs, 7 pics) http://flackr.net/s/twb9
@maxwellthegreat goodness, my heart goes out to the victims of the hijacked tourist bus in the Philippines. The Hostage Taker must be out of his mind.
@tintinbabao RT @imzebzeb @tintinbabao Quirino Grandstand, Hostage Taker, Mendoza. PNP. Philippine. NOT ALL FILIPINOS ARE LIKE ROLANDO MENDOZA! please RT
@whilyn Now that the hostage taker is dead, we look at his life. for retirement nxt yr, dismissed via command responsibility on extortion charge.
@IyahMarie22 Hostage taker, Assaulted. Philippines, Sigh.
@chicagopinay A very sad day for the PI. RT @cnnbrk: #Philippines hostage taker killed. At least 7 survive; at least 2 killed. http://on.cnn.com/a6WNIa
@VictaMC and of course the HK govt thinks the philippines is unsafe just because of one hostage taker. what kind of logic is that.
@sapphireLOVEmi @ELFfacts http://bit.ly/9J0uGQ There was a hostage taking that happened earlier. but it's all over now, The hostage taker is already dead.
@imcrazytojustin @gracehils theres a hostage taker who killed people in a tourist bus. there were chinese people who live at hong kong :O
@abc7 UPDATE: Officials say 6 of 15 hostages from hijacked bus in Manila were killed; hostage-taker also killed http://bit.ly/bHYARM
@RobbyReem So, the hostage taker, Rolando del Rosario Mendoza, was a dismissed policeman. He was desperate to hold a bus hostage.
@enaiRBela Sad, because hostage taker knew early on that he will not come out alive..

Happy Friday the 13th!
Are you superstitious? Or are you simply careful about not taking chances, just in case.
Friday the 13th is considered by many to be a tad bit unlucky. They avoid walking under ladders, crossing paths with black cats and spilling salt.
Of course, I avoid those things every day of the year.
This is the only Friday 13th in 2010. So, better safe than sorry....
@MatthewBurnside Try to avoid camping by the lake today. Ok guys? #Fridaythe13th
@KeelsCorreia #fridaythe13th BOOOO!
@ShaneMcEntee OMG it's #fridaythe13th we're all gonna die!....or not.
@NessyBarna Actually #fridaythe13th wasn't so bad. I know, that it's not the end of the day, but it's been nice so far.
@NaleSaporta #Fridaythe13th Is Good Luck!
@H3nnyondarocz It's #fridaythe13th, guess who's playin' Jason
@MzFilterless #Fridaythe13th ... always a good day for me =) Born on #Halloween gotta give me some perks!
@JoymeeForMiley #fridaythe13th is not really a bad luck to me (: (:
@SoWrongItsZoe for #fridaythe13th me and Liz turned all the old horseshoes in the yard upwards for good luck. Jokingly like, but it worked. xD
@Rhanty #Fridaythe13th sooo! Am i supposed to be scared of jason's arrival

Ramadan celebrated; Trends on Twitter
Today marks the first day of Ramadan. Thanks to Twitter those who are not Muslims can be reminded to wish their Muslim friends Happy Ramadan!
Although, since the holiday means a month of fasting (no food, water or sex) from sunrise to sunset, perhaps we should not be wishing them a "happy" holiday and instead, offer them a fulfilling dinner...
Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان Ramaḍān, Arabic pronunciation: [rɑmɑdˤɑːn]) (also Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, Ramdan, Ramadaan) is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset.[1] Fasting is intended to teach Muslims about patience, humility and spirituality and is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله, trans: Allah) and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds.
@devan_niezz RT @akshaykumar: Ramadan Mubarak to all my Muslim friends and fans. Hope this Ramadan brings in abounding happiness...do remember me in your
