  • Facebook accepts blame for brief outage

    Facebook took the blame on Thursday for a brief outage that resulted in a flood of comments — chiefly on rival social network Twitter.

    The problem began late on Wednesday when "we ran into an issue while updating the configuration of one of our software systems," a Facebook spokesman told AFP.

    "Not long after we made the change, some people started to have trouble accessing Facebook. We quickly spotted and fixed the problem, and in less than 30 minutes Facebook was back to 100 percent for everyone," the spokesman said in an email.

    "This doesn't happen often, but when it does we make sure we learn from the experience so we can make Facebook that much more reliable."
