Except if you're working on Facebook iOS integration. Dammit Facebook! What are the odds.

#27Appears that the status page over at https://developers.facebook.com/status/ isn't loading properly either. I see either a "The connection to developers.facebook.com was interrupted while the page was loading." erorr or a "Service Unavailable" page. Not ideal for a status page.
It does actually convey the fact that everything is down pretty well

#29Okay, let me tell you the difference between Facebook and everyone else, we don't crash EVER! If those servers are down for even a day, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed! Users are fickle, Friendster has proved that. Even a few people leaving would reverberate through the entire userbase. The users are interconnected, that is the whole point. College kids are online because their friends are online, and if one domino goes, the other dominos go, don't you get that?
Guess it's time to test this theory, huh?

Interesting it is dated 2014 and that it is a generic message without any helpful prompts.
