Facebook down?
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…

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

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.
