Unlike its competitor, Myspace, Facebook has earned a great reputation for performance, scalability, and uptime. Today, it seems the system is temporarily down causing many of my coworkers to comment on the rarity of such a platform crash for Facebook. I am sure, it will be back up soon but wanted to point out that even the most revered/untouchable IT infrastructure and back end systems aren't immune to an occasional hiccup.

Update: Facebook is fixed...30 minutes later
