Every so often large websites have downtimes. It’s something that they all have to deal with. This morning there are hundreds of reports via Twitter that Facebook has been down for over an hour for many. Apparently the page simply doesn’t load for most of the people with the problem.

Although we have not heard anything from Facebook yet about the downtime, problems usually are rectified within 60 minutes or so at the most. For the record, our personal Facebook is working just fine.

With over 500 million users, any downtime to just a small fraction of the user base can seem like a massive outage if you search Twitter. If you can’t access the worlds most popular social network, take a breather, as I’m sure it will bounce back up shortly.
