#52Its amazing that the world is still turning even when Facebook is down. Hmm... I noticed that I had trouble logging on yesterday around 4pm. I wonder what's going on.
The world has a lot of momentum. Give it time.

#53It's back up: 12:23 EDT
Nope. Still down at 12:28pm EST. I think they managed to get some regions working for a bit. And the beta site is working. But it still just shows the error page for me here on Time Warner Cable in NYC. Not too concerned as I don't use Facebook for anything critical.

#54..and US productivity is up...
except for HN where the post is #1 right now. This is beyond my understanding. What is it about a FB service outage that makes it so important? (this is not an attempt to troll, it's a serious question)
Quite nearly a billion daily active users, for a start.

Yup, Tinder is not working for me.

Definitely down for me. Good thing I don't have a FB account.

After Facebook took down the Internet last time, they updated all of the script snippets that they have and added an "async" attribute to them. The functionality is still missing when FB goes down, but the site you're looking at still loads quickly.

facebook is a huge tech company much on the scale of google. People are curious because it's like watching Goliath trip himself and fall down.
