Tonight you are officially allowed to disown any friend or family member that utters these words.

What does this phrase even mean? I'm guessing it's an old joke?

I think we're on Web 4.0 at the moment, according to Tim Berners-Lee's definitions...

Text messaging (SMS) was essentially bolted on to a system that was designed for low-traffic signalling (to handle phone call traffic), it was never meant to handle too many messages at once.

At New year's, everyone would send a "happy new year" message to their whole phone book, and the phone networks couldn't handle the traffic, so the messages wouldn't get there (fun fact: all that signalling traffic was important for phone calls, so making a phone call would fail too). So everyone started sending the messages earlier, before the new year's meltdown.

Nowadays we don't use a dirty hack for text messaging, we just let uncle Zuck handle everything.
