Facebook Down!

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!



Imagine my surprise and the millions of us that went to check the latest posts on Facebook and got “Network Error” when they attempted to refresh the screen.
Others got a message from Facebook saying, “Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.”

Huh? With all of the dependency on Social Media, many of us went elsewhere to complain and share. Some went to Twitter to share their frustration. Users from all over the world tweeted their indignation at not being able to see updates from their friends and families.

So is it time to panic?

Probably not, however, it brings me to the greater concern that we are all dependent on the Internet and Social Media, perhaps too much. The problem was fixed in about a half-hour.

At Mobile Generated News® we have all of our Apps and data on backup servers and the Cloud. We have redundant systems in place to insure that we will not experience what Facebook did today, however, with the complex technology in use there are probably few guarantees.

Keeping you informed is part of our mission at Mobile Generated News®. We believe that contributing to the news cycle is essential to our democracy. Most often, viewers do not get to control what they see on the news. Now, the MoGN App enables news enthusiasts to have a say in the content they see on their televisions, web sites and newspapers. We are trying to enhance the human experience when it comes to news.

Download the Mobile Generated News App and become a Citizen Journalist! If you are out and about and see news, weather or sports happening, send in your Breaking News. If you have a story or opinion that’s worth sharing about any subject including technology, record it and send it in as well!

Search for Mobile Generated News in the Apple App Store. And, you will see all of our related affiliate Apps.

The Univision-Mobile Generated News Apps were just released. In addition, you will find the Mobile Generated News App for Nationwide coverage; Entravision-Mobile Generated News App and Serestar-Mobile Generated News App.

All of the MoGN Apps are currently available in English and Spanish.

And, stay tuned for new affiliates joining the Mobile Generated News® Network team. Start contributing today!

Remember, if it is newsworthy, we will post it nationwide and you will see it on the MoGN "Newsfeed" distributed to Broadcast Stations, Newspapers, Web Sites and news organizations across the United States and soon around the World.

Mobile Generated News®. Empowering the NEXT generation.
