- periram 15y agoWorks for me. Could it be anonymous's work?
- tomfakes 15y agoIts acting funky for me, but not down. Facebook is so distributed that very few need be inconvenienced by a few failed servers
- msahil 15y agoyes its down in South Korea as well
- solarcanine 15y agoIs it anonymous? Is it the Messenger release? Neither? Both? I'm betting Messenger software push, but that's just my guess. IANAFE Also, huffpo just picked it up: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/10/facebook-goes-down_n_924016.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/10/facebook-goes-down_...
- wglb 15y agoWe don't need this sort of posting about social media being down. Please don't do this.
- bherms 15y agoAgreed that we don't need status updates on whether a social network is down. HOWEVER, in light of the recent threat to takedown Facebook, I think this is a good thing to open for discussion.
- wglb 15y agoDisagree; I am not particularly interested in that conversation either. I have flagged this posting.
- bherms 15y agoNot being interested and being inappropriate for discussion by programmers are two different things. Simply because you aren't interested doesn't mean it's irrelevant for hackers to talk about.
- wglb 15y agoSo I am a programmer of long standing and a hacker and I would rather see better articles than this submitted. The best parts of this thread are going to at best add zero to my ability to build something.
- laxk 15y agoIt is not just a social medium, it is the largest social network. It doesn't look like a local problem. It will be interesting to see how Facebook will fix the problems.
- solarcanine 15y agoEspecially the same day as a big software push for their new Messenger app product - be funny if they accidentally DDoSed themselves with the app somehow
- suprasanna 15y agoThe connection was reset is the error I'm repeatedly getting. FF, Safari, Chrome on OS X. First time FB has been down this widespread?
- blinkingled 15y agoSomething is going on - I have an existing session - with no updates when I was expecting some. Even ignoring that posting status updates just sits there.
