Facebook down

Facebook experienced downtime from shortly after 08:00 on Tuesday 27 January, for which the cause remains unknown.
 
I thought the internet was broken at first, until all other pages opened. Then I thought it was routing with my ISP, until I saw this. facebook down. Hectic.
 
It is not just facebook though. A couple of random international sites on my end also does not work.
 
It's kinda odd how dependent we are on FB...

1st my Instagram didn't work...then DrawSomething bombed...then spotify crashed...I thought my net was down for sure, not realising all these apps are dependent on FB.
 
Most of the clients where I have installed a firewall they have requested that Facebook be blocked.
At our clients nothing is blocked but all the managers get a report of which sites were visited. You can Facebook as much as you want during your lunch time but do it during business time and questions will be asked.
 
Facebook Will Be Back Soon
Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes. In the meantime, read more about why you're seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site.
