Facebook is having a rough day

Facebook doesn’t go down … ever.

As reported, Facebook is experiencing technical issues today. This is very usual. Twitter blew up with tweets about the issues.

Loading comments for the wrong pictures, messages being dropped, everything being unbearably slow are all the more obvious symptoms. As my friend put it, “Pages load like they did in 1994.”

But, I also noticed something more subtle:

Facebook Shared Link Algorithm Fail

Notice that the “link” referenced by Facebook as supposedly being shared by both Lifehacker and Kogeto? Yea, the links published by the two users are different.

I got trapped in an elevator leaving the office today. Not a great day for technology all around.
