The social network world has been swamped these past few days with complaints from frustrated Blackberry users. Once again, Research in Motion Ltd. has experienced several difficulties regarding their service. In a society that relies on their smart phones to communicate across the globe this is an enormous inconvenience; especially for the business world where the sharing of instantaneous information, such as emails and BBM, is fundamental.
However, everyone can take a deep sigh of relief, RIM officials released a statement this morning saying, “BlackBerry service has been restored around the world after the worst service outage in the history of Canada’s largest technology company” (National Post, October 13, 2011).
The networked world as everyone knows it should be back in order. I can’t resist but comment on the unfortunate timing for RIMs service to fail… it’s kind of funny that this should happen mere days before the new iPhone 5 is released, no?
