I have not been on FaceBook for quite some time. I have not noticed that it was down. And from what I remember from the movie, it was stated that FaceBook should never go down for nothing. I guess there is a first time for everything.

I know you were not saying anything negative. It is weird that FaceBook went offline. It is a first and was fit to post. Now they are like every other site online now.

It might be happen only in your country, because I heard nothing here. I think the facebook users demand is very high in India and it could have produced the breakdown.

Hi ravisivan: Although I'm a little bit addicted to Facebook I have to say that I didn't notice anything today because, today it's my day off and I usuallt take this day to rest and do just relaxing things like for example being here in Mylot. ALVARO

Facebook is working here in my country but I noticed few errors while logging in to my account. Some pictures are broken and become smaller from it's original size. Maybe facebook team is having some updates and I hope this will be fix sooner.

Sorry to inform you but Facebook sucks and its longevity decreases on the daily. That website is just terrible and I'm hoping for other social networks to sweep its clientele and activity so that they may rise from the ranks. I'm actually a bigger fan of Twitter and I deleted my Facebook so when it went down, nothing phased me! Facebook is weak, Twitter is alright, and now there's a million other really good networking tools out there to be discovered! myLot is one! :)

I haven't experienced till today. Whenever I logged in to Facebook, I can read mails, accept friend's request and do other stuffs. Maybe, they were updating in their server and it only took 15 minutes, right? So nice of Facebook.

It was down longer than that for me. This wasn't the first time its been down for me. I was surprised that it was down at a time when many want to get on Facebook. I'm wondering if to many people were trying to use the site at the same time.

I had some downtime, Facebook said it was unable to log in at the time, but it was over about ten minutes later. No worries. I always stay up to date with my computer protection because Facebook apps and other links can contain viruses, despite the fact Facebook claims to be safe.
