Is Facebook down?

...and that's why you don't use Facebook Like buttons and Boxes all over your site. because it looks broken and full of errors now. Also, I don't want to know what this outage is doing to all the "Log in with Facebook" buttons right now.<p>On a serious note: DNS issue.<p>The authoritative nameservers a.ns.facebook.com and b.ns.facebook.com seem to be "set up" like this a the moment:<p>*.facebook.com -&#62;(cname) star.facebook.com -&#62; no answer<p>facebook.com still resolves the correct (?) IPs, but www.facebook.com, developers.facebook.com, graph.facebook.com all starting to die as your DNS cache expires. That's why it still might work for some at the moment while it really is broken.

Woah, downforeveryoneorjustme says: Huh? <a href="http://www.facebook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com</a> doesn't look like a site on the interwho.

A little investigation:<p>Anon_Online notices of the event, OP probably high/drunk <a href="https://twitter.com/Anon_Online/status/278269562422697987" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/Anon_Online/status/278269562422697987</a><p>Odd-looking whois of facebook.com (notice the xxx domains and last update timestamp) <a href="http://pastebin.com/K4gAK3gi" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/K4gAK3gi</a><p>Hmm

If it's down for you, try these IPs, to check whether is a DNS problem.<p><pre><code> ;; ANSWER SECTION: facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.229.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.100.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 173.252.101.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.152.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 66.220.158.16 facebook.com. 1690 IN A 69.171.224.32</code></pre>

Guys, just go to <a href="https://beta.facebook.com/" rel="nofollow">https://beta.facebook.com/</a> and it works.

Both gmail and facebook down within an hour or so? Something going on?

Down here in France. Geo dns issue?<p>I just tried using: <a href="http://www.analogx.com/cgi-bin/cgidig.exe?DNS=208.67.222.222&#38;Query=www.facebook.com&#38;Type=1&#38;submit=Lookup" rel="nofollow">http://www.analogx.com/cgi-bin/cgidig.exe?DNS=208.67.222.222...</a> and that's claiming everything is fine (i.e. www.facebook.com exists and is a CNAME for star.facebook.com)

It seems like a SERVER has been taken down. Due to the large differences in location, it seems like a server(s) that service(s) multiple locations has/have been taken out. People are screaming Anon, but it could be a power outage and have the same effect.<p>Either way, get ready to change some passwords.

So www.facebook.com is not resolving but facebook.com does. Someone pushed a bad dns update?

Strange, yes downforeveryoneorjustme says it is not a site, but I can refresh FB just fine.

Down from Amsterdam ( IX5 ) And France ( OVH ), Track live tweets here <a href="http://facebook.twitterconsole.com" rel="nofollow">http://facebook.twitterconsole.com</a>

It is up for me in Austin, Texas. Maybe a localized DNS issue?

Huh. As of 15 minutes ago, I was (successfully) pulling data from <a href="http://graph.facebook.com" rel="nofollow">http://graph.facebook.com</a>.

At home I got nothing.<p>On my server I get the layout but no content.<p>It works fine for a friend on the same ISP as me.<p>(France)
