<p class="MsoNormal">What is one organizations definition of “business critical services” is not applicable to every business. For better or worse Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumbr, Amazon, etc social media services have the ability to generate large numbers
of support calls to ISP level networks and even internal helpdesk depending on a business’s own policies if there is a large disruption in services. If you do not want to know about or want to see queries about a particular service then I highly recommend
you look into mail filtering through your email client of choice. The SnR on the Outages list is way better than searching Twitter or relying on Downdetector even if you get once a week email flurries about the latest outage of social media services you do
not have a business case for wanting to know about. <o:p></o:p></p>
