MySpace and Facebook in Bed Together?
The last couple of days I have been having some problems with Facebook. For some reason, their stylesheets were not loading, so the site didn’t really work. This aggravated me quite a bit. I really have not used Facebook much lately for anything beyond sharing interesting articles that I don’t post on here. This feature did not work, though, due to the site being broken for me. I first thought that something was being blocked by my ad blocking program. I disabled that, reloaded, and still no avail. I thought maybe there was something wrong with IE, so I switched to Firefox to check, and still no luck. This started on Tuesday, but I had not done anything that could possibly be causing this outcome, so I just assumed it was an oddity and would resolve itself. Yesterday, though, I got a surprise. When I got on in the morning, everything was working fine. However, in the afternoon, when I looked again, it was broken. This time, though, something caught my eye. A bit down the page I had the message telling me the site had been blocked by the administrator. This is the message displayed when you try to access a site that has been blocked at my router. The thing is, I only have one thing blocked there, and that is MySpace. When I logged into the router, remove the block, and checked Facebook again everything worked perfectly. Wanting to test this out, I put the block back, and checked again, but everything was still just fine. As of today, it is still working just fine. So why on earth was I seeing something that could have only happened if something on Facebook was referencing MySpace, but then it just goes away? I’ve been over the source code on the page a couple times, and still have come up with nothing. I am joking when I imply that there is any sort of real link between the two; it just really makes me wonder, though.
