Facebook appears to be down

by Mathew on June 29, 2007 · Comments

I haven’t been able to log in to the site for the past few hours, and it seems as though some other people have had trouble too. Growing pains?

and… we’re back. Life can return to normal :-)

Update:

Just got an email from Matt Hicks, who’s in communications with Facebook, and he said there was a power failure at one of their data centres this morning, but everything is back to normal now. That’s pretty fast — not the server repair, but the PR response. Impressive.

    You're back? Looks like a whole lot of people are still having problems with this.

    I just tried again. Same message:

    Hey, your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.
  • Matthew, I'd really appreciate if you try Hictu! out. It's a micro-videoblogging platform, where, unlike Twitter or Jaiku, you can post audio and video messages. Take a look and share your comments: www.hictu.com
    thanks

    I'm also still suffering from that same error message! And friends/colleagues can access it around me. How frustrating.
