For about 30 minutes earlier today social media site Facebook appeared to be offline.
As the site went down this afternoon, more than 1 000 people promptly reported connection issues on DownDetector.com, a website that tracks site downtime.
On DownDetector’s live map, the issue appeared to be concentrated on the East coast of the United States.
While many took to social media websites like Twitter to report the outage, Facebook’s official Twitter page has not yet mentioned the outage. (Business Insider UK)
