Facebook has apparently gone down for thousands, if not millions, of members today. At approximately 2:35 AM EST, people began reporting problems on Twitter.com and other social media outlets. The downtime is not only affecting the main Facebook page, but it is also either preventing other sites that have the Facebook “Like” buttons, and widgets on them, from loading, or just slowing them up. When Facebook crashes, a large portion of the internet crashes along with it because of it’s interconnectivity within the entire web.

About one month ago Facebook experienced what they called the worst downtime in the company’s recent history. We have received no word from anyone working for the company as too what the issue is, or how much longer the problems will persist.
