Wondering if Facebook is down? It's not just you!

Users have been reporting issues accessing Facebook, and the website DownRightNow reports that a "service disruption" is "likely."

DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com also confirms that Facebook is currently down.

According to DownRightNow, as of 3:30PM ET, the last status change was 51 minutes ago and the "last widespread service disruption" occurred an hour ago.

TechCrunch points out that Facebook's downtime has taken the Internet's Like buttons with it:
This is a problem not just because the site is down, but Facebook’s omnipresent Like button is also completely down, so the entire Internet (or a good percentage of it) is feeling this pain.

same here: when I try face-book it just says : Service Unavailable - DNS failure
The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.
Reference #11.57ba58db.1285272292.e27363e1 or something like that !?!?!?
other pages seem to work though slowly but that's just us I think.

I'm guessing that face-book is down for a moment...

good luck !
