So Facebook is down it seems around the world right now, it 10am Christmas Day over here in Central Coast NSW Australia.

None of my friends are on Steemit so I can't say Merry Christmas to them. I do like Steemit more than Facebook as a concept, but in the real world? Is it there yet? For instance I have an event coming up in few days. It was created as a Facebook event. 1,000 people were invited through Facebook and 100 people RSVP'd
I don't think that would be possible to do for free on any other platform at the moment, but today it is down so a great time to explore possible future alternatives, but I still don't know any?
