Royters News: Now what do we do?
A massive DDOS attack (from of a hacking attack) has brought down a lot of social media as well streaming sites like Netflix, Spotify in the US. On a Friday evening! No less!!
Now people have been left with no choice but to (gasp!) talk to each other. Unfortunately, most of their sentences so far have been constructed with the words – “Like”, “Retweet”, “Share” and “Pound Sign” :-)(Apparently some did not get the memo that it is called HashTag đŸ™‚ )

It was # pound sign for years – in grocery stores and on the phone…when you actually used a dial (gasp) phone to talk (what???) to other people…. LOL
Ummm. So I just read your post at 3:21pm PT Saturday, I had absolutely no idea this happened. Last night my son had a belt test and then we met up with the rest of the family for dinner then came home and went to bed.
