Facebook Hacked , Just Like Its Shares 1ST June 2012

Friday, June 1, 2012 1:17

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

“Let me tell you the difference between Facebook and everyone else, we don’t crash EVER!” – ‘Mark Zuckerberg’, The Social Network. Not quite. Facebook was offline or slow to load for some users around the world for over an hour. Reports started flooding in to Twitter at roughly 4:26pm PST today with many users quipping that “Facebook is down. Just like its stock price.”

One hour in, DownForEveryoneOrJustMe confirmed the outage continued for some users, though others had no trouble logging on. We’re awaiting a response from Facebook on the cause.

Similar to Facebook’s IPO, which was largely chronicled with tweets rather than the social network itself, Facebook users turned to Twitter to vent their frustration with the downtime. The site so rarely encounters loading problems that the outage came as quite a shock to some.

[Update 5:46pm PST: 80 minutes after the outage began we're hearing reports that users in the United Staes, Brazil and Tunisia and likely other locations lost service, but the site seems to be coming back to life for others, including me.] As Jesse Eisenberg fumed during his fictional portrayal of ‘Mark Zuckerberg’ in Aaron Sorkin’s dramatized history of Facebook, ‘The Social Network’:

“If those servers are down for even a day, our entire reputation is irreversibly destroyed! Users are fickle, Friendster has proved that. Even a few people leaving would reverberate through the entire userbase. The users are interconnected, that is the whole point. College kids are online because their friends are online, and if one domino goes, the other dominos go, don’t you get that? I am not going back to the Caribbean Night at AEPi!”

Honestly, Facebook has been remarkably reliable over the last few years, even as its user base swells. But hopefully the site’s engineering team doesn’t mine sipping on a Caribbean piña colada while they sort things out. Source : http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/31/is-facebook-down/
