Facebook Down

Share:

Yesterday I wrote about some players having trouble logging into Facebook (1). Today the problem seems more severe. 

We are experiencing an issue with a third-party networking provider that is making it difficult for some of you to connect to Facebook. We are in contact with this provider and working to fix the issue as soon as possible.

This time the cause is unclear as reported by the NY Daily News in the article titled No poking allowed: Facebook website goes down across the world. 

When I try to log into Facebook, I get the following error messages.

I'm in a few Skype Chat rooms so usually I know if the problem is with my computer or with everybody.  I saw that everybody was having the same issue.  Whenever I'm not sure if a site is down or if it's on my end, I go to the website downforeveryoneorjustme.com.  It's easy to find out.  Just go to the site, type in the URL in question, and wait for a response.

Here are my results after typing in facebook.com.
