When everybody busy with their works, those spending full time on Facebook found it went down for hours and felt devastated. Good thing is, Facebook said they have completed their back end service and repair works, pretty much things are back to normal. A spokesman of the company provided the following statement:
Earlier this afternoon we experienced an issue with our serving infrastructure that prevented some people from accessing Facebook for a short time. We’ve resolved the underlying problem and service is recovering. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.
Facebook has updated its Platform Status to indicate its currently experiencing “sitewide issues” with Facebook and its platform. The result is higher than normal error rates and latency for some of its users.
Facebook reported that it has been working well from their side but received number of reports about the sitewide issue. The company is trying to resolve the issue ASAP. Meanwhile, all those Facebook freaks, may be its time to use a little of your Twitter account until things are back normal 😛
Keep checking this space, it will be updated when the issue is sorted.
