Facebook down?

Created:

I was checking a post I got a link to from a friend, and did not get any content, but the browser did not say anything weird. So I checked with the trustworthy curl library…

#curl -v https://www.facebook.com/

Interesting. Maybe it is an IPv6 issue…lets try again.

#curl -v -4 https://www.facebook.com/

Nope, it looks not good at all. Ok, maybe the closest cache that is broken.

Lets check with one of the more broad test sites.

Yup, definitely down.
