Woah, downforeveryoneorjustme says: Huh? http://www.facebook.com doesn't look like a site on the interwho.
Yep, I checked there too. Also getting:

Ping request could not find host www.facebook.com. Please check the name and try again.

DNS issue? I can ping some of their IP addresses but not others.
The facebook.com ping in Brazil don't work.
Both gmail and facebook down within an hour or so? Something going on?
Cyberattack! Don't panic! Everyone make your way to your nearest cyber-shelter! ;-)
Prepping for the end of the world next Friday ;)
It is up for me in Austin, Texas. Maybe a localized DNS issue?
"ping: cannot resolve www.facebook.com: Unknown host" from Seattle.
Down for me here (UK, broadband provider is Eclipse) - looks like a DNS problem. isup.me also fails to resolve it.
Down here (Rome, Italy)
Up in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Down here (Israel).
I'm in Sacramento, CA - It's down at my house, but not at my neighbor's house (we're both on Comcast).
Strange, yes downforeveryoneorjustme says it is not a site, but I can refresh FB just fine.

facebook.com might still be in your DNS cache,

something seems wrong with their domain registry. they use Markmonitor, any other Markmonitor domains affected?

Just tried dumping the cache, same result (I'm using Google's public dns servers as forwarders).

I can however ping www.facebook.com from my servers in Germany (hetzner.net).

Edit: sorry - thought you were replying to my post :)

The HN effect;) Down for me in germany.
Down for me in Sacramento.
Down for me in Chicago . . . its been a hell of a day for big web companies!
So www.facebook.com is not resolving but facebook.com does. Someone pushed a bad dns update?
Down here in Rochester, New York. However I'm still able to have a conversation through the mobile Facebook Messenger app.
At home I got nothing.

On my server I get the layout but no content.

It works fine for a friend on the same ISP as me.
