#53Instagram as well
Looks like they share some infrastructure with facebook. Whatsap web and app works though :)

#54It doesn't help to link to the website when it is already down.
Traffic sent from HN is but a drop in a bucket the size of a dump truck for facebook.

#55It's interesting to see how Facebook downtime has a huge effect on Internet traffic – there's a Guardian report where they share their referral data while Facebook was down for 31 minutes (the longest outage in 4 years):

#57Akamai, the CDN used by Facebook went down before Facebook for me this morning: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/akamaihd.net
Looking through the customer list, most other sites seem to be working fine:

I wonder what makes FB and Instagram different?

#59I restarted my modem and router two times before I realized that the network was fine and that it was just Facebook that was down. Props to their ops team for uptime that is so reliable.
I haven't seen Facebook go down in years. I wonder if this is going to be a big deal .
I'm wondering how much revenue gets lost every minute that Facebook is down. It has to be in the tens of thousands.
Edit: someone wrote this below in the comments, which came to $400 per second of downtime. Ouch.
