Facebook

To what lengths would you go to check your Facebook account? If "not far" is your answer, then you're in the minority; according to a report in the Information, users continued to use the app no matter how many times it was made to crash.

Though no specific details were given as to who was affected and for how long, Facebook reportedly crashed the app for hours in an attempt to "test users' loyalties".


According to the report, "people never stopped coming back" -- if the app became unavailable, users simply used their mobile browser to visit the site.

More than a billion people use Facebook every day, and their last quarterly report detailing a growth in ad revenue of 45.4 percent.

The tests were reportedly part of a wider effort by Facebook to prepare for an 'Android Doomsday' -- the possibility that the Google Play Store may one day not distribute Facebook apps. The Play Store has no immediate plans to drop Facebook products.
