Down for over an hour... not coming back up... prime weekend time.

Almost 9000 tweets on the subject already...

Developing...

Wait I just received five replies to that post and four requests to play scrabble - if they are down - where?

I know, I know, many of you won't care, so ignore this thread. But this is a multi-billion dollar company that makes its business strictly online. To be knocked offline for whatever reason on a Friday night during prime-time is catastrophic.

Looks like it might only affect Europe?
Could it be an Akamai problem?

Still can’t get them here.
I did double-check with DownRightNow.com

Been on a FB blog all afternoon with my high school classmates. Seems to be working as good as it usually does. I don’t see any indication that it is “down” or knocking people off the site. Maybe you made the FB gods mad? :-)

Did you get an email from “Facebook” and click on the link? If so, you probably are the one that got hacked. It happened to my mom several months ago and I had to install an anti-virus program and it found some problems. I recommend AVG free as a starting point, works for most common viruses and other internet problems. Just do a Google search on “AVG Free” and do the download, then scan your computer.

Hover over the “Go Back” link and look in the bottom left corner of the screen. Does it say “http://facebook.com";, if not you need to get your computer cleaned.

It’s working just fine for me too. Actually a lot faster than this site.

It seems to be worldwide, outside the USA.
