As you probably already know, Facebook was down this morning, resulting in unbridled productivity at offices across the globe. Naturally, many took to rival social network Twitter to poke fun at Facebook and society’s dependence on the site, and, for your enjoyment, we compiled a bunch of our favorites when we weren’t busy putting together awesome deals.
Work productivity was a common target:
You'd think #FacebookDown would boost my productivity. Instead, I'm sitting on https://t.co/caB2jjbXbq hitting refresh every 15 seconds.

Facebook isn't working so that you can.#FacebookDown

Some used the opportunity to claim that Twitter was purely a Facebook backup:
Let's all run to Twitter to say Facebook is down. #facebookdown

Of course #facebookdown is the top trending topic on Twitter because Twitter is the first place people go if Facebook is down. I know I did.

And others took shots at Google+:
If Twitter and Facebook stopped working at the same time, most people STILL wouldn't use Google+ #facebookdown

You almost had to start using Google+ this morning.#FacebookDown

FB is down and the whole world has to figure out what network to use to complain about it. Still nobody heading to G+. #facebookdown

Most, however, lamented society’s reliance on Facebook for social interaction:
Since #facebookdown I've been going around poking co-workers and commenting on photos they have at their desk.

Facebook going down for 15 minutes is proof that today's generation wouldve survived approximately 8 seconds in the 80s. #facebookdown
