Facebook Goes Down

Posted by Nick O'Neill on June 29th, 2007 10:03 AM

Remember the days when you couldn’t access Friendster because the site wasn’t loading? How about the annoying page on Facebook saying that they were performing server maintenance? This morning I received a message stating the following: “Hey, your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.” What the hell? Don’t you know that I have a blog to maintain? This is completely unacceptable. I have to be honest, I kind of thought that Facebook was invisible to the troubles of past social networks. Looks like they may not be. Darn it! Guess I’ll just have to weather the storm.

    I'm not sure which is worse: 25+ million people suffering from social withdrawal or the revenue that all of those people who built apps are losing. When MySpace went down back in May they had a better statement: <br><br>"We're hoping to have friendship restored to our users as soon as possible."*<br><br>*Quoted from the Onion's story titled: "MySpace Outage Leaves Millions Friendless", <a href="http://www.theonion.com/content/news/myspace_outage_leaves_millions">http://www.theonion.com/content/news/myspace_ou…</a>

    I have the same problem! The weird thing is, I am the ONLY one with the problem. My friends and family are logging on without any difficulty but when they try to click on my profile it comes up as a big question mark with no content. Why would I be singled out like this? I am getting paranoid…

    I have been getting that error message since Wednesday and it's Sunday now. I've emailed about 6 times. The 1st two times I received an auto-responder that says their working on it and should be back with me soon. I haven't even received an auto-responder to the other emails. Guess they don't even bother to send an auto-responder if you write to them more than once or twice. Everyone else that I know is not having problems signing in. Wonder why I can't sign in…. BTW, if you have a problem, and would like an auto-responder message, you can email them at <a href="mailto:login@facebook.com">login@facebook.com</a> or <a href="mailto:info@facebook.com">info@facebook.com</a>. I tried to call their "tech support" at 650-543-4800, but they wouldn't help me and told me to send an email to <a href="mailto:info@facebook.com">info@facebook.com</a>. Hope this helps someone when they are in the same position I'm in.
