Facebook, hands down the world's favorite social network, has the habit of updating and bringing new features to the service periodically. The service was getting a couple of new features just now and many users were awestruck by the sudden change in features. However, in the midst of all of that excitement, Facebook has gone down for many users worldwide.
The new Brand Pages from Facebook is actually a new design of the ever popular Fan Pages and it was said to bring the networks location based checkin feature, Places to these very pages. This update was also going to make it easier to manage different Facebook Pages by seamlessly switching through accounts without having to bear through the hassle of logging in and out again. Nevertheless, the roll out of this potentially great feature aside, many of the users can not access the social network at all.
Among the problems many users were facing while accessing Facebook, many have vented out their anger on Twitter, as even their profiles kept switching between the old and new looks. Earlier this month, Facebook overhauled Profile pages drastically bringing some vital improvements and enhancements to these pages.
It can not be said for sure on how big a scale has this incident of Facebook being down has occurred, as well as when it will be back online for users who are currently deprived of it. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
