In this episode, I was sitting in my office by myself on Monday morning when Instagram and Facebook had been down all day. It’s only when things like this happen that I actually notice how often I subconsciously will go on my phone to open the app.
I was looking online, doing what people do, when Instagram or Facebook go down; starting looking on Twitter and Google. I went online to Down Detector and was reading about how his was their biggest outage in 13 years.
My first thought is, “Well, crap. I just wrote out and planned my week’s worth of Instagram content. I just dropped a new podcast that I think is important, if only I could post about this. Oh wait, I CAN!”
“You need to get the connections you have with your audience off of social media.”
