Day 2 – Facebook Down

Allen - September 23rd, 2010

facebookYesterday I was the first (and one of the few) to write about Facebook being down and out of service. From everything I could gather, it seemed like if you were west of the Mississippi river in the U.S. or in another country, Facebook was out of service for a good while.

Also similar to yesterday’s outage, the Facebook social buttons (e.g. Like button) are out of service.

My favorite note about the outage comes from Twitter user Fake Dispatch who notes, “BREAKING WORK TIP: Do not be the first one in your office to announce that Facebook is down.”

Update: Facebook has posted regarding today’s outage. The posting is VERY technical in its discussion of what happened.

One difference with yesterday for me is that yesterday I received no connection to Facebook at all. Today I received the following message:

Gateway Timeout

The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.

Reference #1.165e613f.1285271126.18ab8868

We have emailed Facebook for more information and will update this post when we hear back.

As always report in if Facebook is down for you – but please also note your location so I can see if there is a similar pattern today.

    I was thinking the same thing Facebook Down – that it may be related to that. Surprised that there wasn’t some kind of warning, though.

  20. [...] Perhaps this downtime is related to the press briefing on Wednesday afternoon. Two weeks ago Facebook suffered their longest outage. [...]

  51. Joe says:

    I live in Tennesee, same issues here today.

    According to the Wall Street Journal:
    ‘Facebook.com is having technical difficulties, affecting both users accessing the social networking site, as well as the “Like” buttons that the social network has populated across the Web.

    In a statement, a Facebook spokesman said: “Facebook may be slow or unavailable for some people because of site issues. We’re working to fix this quickly.”

    Internet monitoring company AlertSite reported that Facebook started experiencing problems at about 2:30 p.m. Eastern. Between 2:30 and 3:30, Facebook only had 38.46% availability — and response times of up to 60 seconds reported from one of AlertSite’s monitoring locations. It wasn’t immediately clear what was behind the outage.
    Facebook also had technical problems on Wednesday, thanks to a third-party networking provider.’

  73. Shaun says:

    Facebook is down in Florida period, here is you reason….. they are saying alot of different things, however we know what the real reason is, The robert rivera virus, what it is = it looks as if you have a friend request from this person, here is the problem, if you accept you will keep getting request from the same person over and over again, we got over 300 yesterday, it is overloading the servers. We estimate that yesterday there was at least 1 million of these request sent, so add in the 3 weeks prior that this has been happening and there you go. im sure they will get this resolved soon, so just hang on for a bit and you will be good to go. for the people saying they are going back to myspace…. myspace has had alot more problems to date than Fb, keep that in mind before running back to a huge spam site.
