Facebook down?

[Seb7]

In the UK (maybe other regions), Facebook appears to have been down for hours. Everyone's twittering over it! I cant get a single successful connection to the servers, and DNS entries are also disappearing.

Speculation that its down due to an investigation in to offensive Obama poll. Wonder what news stories will come out of this…

No problem reaching it from South America.

No problems from me, although, I hadn't tried it until you mentioned it.

Have you tried a ping or traceroute?

Looks like its only specific internet networks within the UK which are effected.
