I have no idea why the first question is actually relevant. Still, to answer the second question: common sense. .co.in is the .com equivalent of India; and Facebook should have bought it long ago if it has any decent domain strategy (heck MSFT even tried to get mikerowsoft.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_vs._MikeRoweSoft).

I get that the person just assumed that it was owned by Facebook, but Facebook doesn't own facebook.cc for example. I wouldn't try to go to facebook.cc, see "this domain is for sale" and immediately assume that Facebook is down, hacked, or forgot to renew their domain registration. I guess my thinking is that if I went to a domain that I had never visited before and got that Apache index page, I would assume that I had done something wrong (mis-typed the domain, used the wrong domain, etc) rather than assuming that I was right and Facebook was weird. This is also why I asked where the link came from. Had l0nwlf visited that same link before and it worked? Was it in an email? etc. This isn't a judgement or anything of the poster (and I hope that it doesn't come off that way), just an explanation of my reaction and thought process here.
