World panics, children cry, workers sigh ... Facebook.com TITSUP
Total Inability To See Uninspiring Posts
Updated Bosses cheered worldwide as Facebook.com fell over once again, forcing people to put down their phones, close their private-browsing tabs, and do some work. Yes, even if it is Monday.

"A Facebook-wide issue is causing the Facebook Graph API to be temporarily unavailable ... We have identified the issue and are in the process of pushing the fix," the website's team said in an update. The site appears to be getting back to normal about an hour after it fell over globally.
