“Facebook is down. Our street is full of new mums showing pictures of their kids to total strangers…” wrote Marc Iles.
Till now, Facebook hasn’t issued a formal response to the outages and the underlying reason for the issue remains unclear.
“Wondering if Facebook goes down deliberately to get trending on Twitter, Cheaper than a sponsored tweet”.
According to Currentlydown.com, Facebook was down for about 42 minutes between 3pm ET (12:30am IST) and 4pm ET (1:30am IST).
Of course the social media crisis spawned a hashtag – #Facebookdown. But reports that Facebook was down came from all parts of the world that have an Internet connection.
Most importantly, Facebook is still refusing requests for an explanation.
Facebook had a major crash in January when hackers from online group Lizard Squad claimed they shut down the site. The DownForEveryoneOrJustMe site also reported that Facebook was dead in the water.
But there’s plenty of other good services that do the same job.
When you have a billion users and you go down, everyone notices.
