WHEN FACEBOOK crashed on Monday night, it was unexpectedly bad influence on people and businesses in Thailand.
Apisilp
Trunganont, president of the Thai Webmaster Association, said that
although it could happen to any webpage, Facebook's infrastructure was
more stable than most, and therefore would not have crashed so easily.
As
for users who spend a lot of time on Facebook, they were irritated when
they find out that they are not able to post a comment or press the
"like" button for a while.
"But
the good thing is that it was not for very long and only affected some
functions. Did not affect those who get their timeline. Would But stores
that rely on Facebook to have a plan B if it happened again," said
Apisilp .
Pawoot
Pongvitayapanu, President of e-Commerce Association of Thailand,
explained that Facebook users could access about 20 percent of
Thailand's website on Monday evening, which meant that businesses could
create any new products or services, and potential customers could not
press "like" time approximately one hour.
This
resulted in a relatively large impact considering there are 700 to 1200
million users who log on to Facebook every day, he said.
"His impact was worse when it happened ten p.m. to eleven p.m. - maximum time for Facebook users," said Pawoot.
Therefore,
he said, companies should not rely solely on Facebook links to their
websites, but also consider setting up your own web log-in systems to
reduce the risk.
"Facebook
is the latest crash also had an impact on the network and image
stability, and also influence people's confidence in the management of
cloud computing," said Pawoot.
Art
Wichiencharoen, senior vice president of Kasikorn Bank, said that the
fall had very big impact on its banks, because Facebook is not
associated with its online and mobile banking services.
"It's just one of the many channels that we use to send transaction notifications," said Art.
However,
he added that KBANK Live Facebook fanpage, which is used for online
activities and information might be affected by the accident. "But
we have not heard of any adverse effects," he said, adding that the
crash would not affect the people's trust in online services, especially
in the financial and banking sector, as Facebook is just one of many
services.
"You
can not drop ATMs. Given, internet and mobile banking are beginning to
play a larger role, we must ensure that our infrastructure is quite
stable, so that our online services are 100-percent availability," said
Art.
