Facebook Crashes Taking Like Buttons Across the Internet With It

Facebook_iconFor the second time in two days Facebook bit the big one and disappeared from the face of the planet. The rub today, however is the now ubiquitous like buttons are disappearing on websites everywhere leaving nasty error messages in their wake. Facebook’s Platform status page gives a brief explanation:

Current Status: API Latency Issues

We are currently experiencing latency issues with the API, and we are actively investigating. We will provide an update when either the issue is resolved or we have an ETA for resolution.

Apparently they had the same issue yesterday for a few hours: API latency issues Sep 22, 2010 1:40pm that forced system wide outages.

Bottom line, it’s the second day of autumn go outside and enjoy the weather. Maybe FAcebook will come back some day. Or maybe not…

  1. Oh dear! What a disaster. At least you are the first to provide some info. The only thing published lately about FB is that Mark Zuckerberg now is now richer than Steve Jobs or Rupert Murdoch (4th on google for facebook). First 3 spots: ‘Welcome to Facebook’ (I don’t think so), ‘Login | Facebook’ (are they having a joke?) and ‘Welcome to Facebook | Facebook’ (Yeah, I have heard that one before).

    Ta, SynaVista

    Things got very productive around the office all of the sudden…

  3. LOL, it is said that if FB had stayed off line for another hour, increased productivity would have pulled the world out of recession…….
