Can't update status? Facebook and Instagram are down

If you can't post a new status on Facebook, it's not you.

Facebook and Facebook-owned photo app Instagram are down for some users on Wednesday. The social networks have been having issues since around 9 a.m. PT, according to tracking site Down Detecter. Some users have posted on Twitter that they're seeing a message saying Facebook is "down for maintenance."

Other users trying to post status updates on Facebook, including CNET staff, got error messages saying "something went wrong."

Facebook confirmed the outages.

"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps," a Facebook spokesperson said in an email. "We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

Facebook hasn't revealed what caused the outage, but said in a tweet on Wednesday that it wasn't because of a cyber attack known as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

This isn't Facebook's first outage. In November the social network went down in a mishap caused by a test the company was running. That outage lasted about 40 minutes. That same month, Facebook and Instagram were down for hours because of a "server configuration." The outage was also affecting Facebook's ad products.

IG has less drama than twitter or FB, IMO.

I only keep a page up for bizz and to keep in contact with my inner circle.
Youngins already call facebook the retirement home of social media; won’t hurt them any.
Insta might piss a few off but then again they also double down with snapchat so no loss there.

Cheat on your wife and you got yourself a pretty good country song.

Dear Mark Zuckerberg

We have kidnapped Faceback and are holding it ransom for the amount of 10 Billion dollars. Do not get the police involved or you’ll never see it again.

Thank you.

PS, we are knocking 10,000 off of the ransom so that you can go out and buy a toupee, we are extremely bothered by the fact that your head looks like a male appendage.
