It’s not just you: Facebook is having some issues posting updates

Yes, you may be experiencing some issues posting that status. Or liking that photo. Or sharing that comment. Facebook is experiencing some difficulties right now.

Users in multiple countries across the world have reported receiving error messages when trying to interact with the social network site. It still loads as usual, but any attempt to post a photo, like anything, comment on or post a status will leave you confronted with an error message asking you to try again later. TechCrunch suggests there may also be a problem with Facebook’s iOS app.

While Facebook has yet to comment on the problems, the partial outage has been confirmed by monitoring service Down Right Now and, of course, the Twitterverse. Many users have seized the opportunity to tweet about the down time and poke fun at the level of panic.

I can't log in to Facebook to tell everyone how depressed I am that I can't log in to Facebook.

No-one has been able to tag photos on Facebook, play flash games or post annoying status updates. It's been fixed.

Facebook is down?! But I was hoping to to be sent a trite inspirational message from someone I barely knew at school! 🙁
