The tweets continued to pour in -- at a rate of dozens per minute if the Twitter search results are any indication -- as users searched for jokes and/or salvation.
As of this writing, DownDetector.com had more than 900 reports of Facebook users who were encountering problems Friday afternoon. Ironically, another outage detection site, downrightnow.com/facebook, seemed to be experiencing problems of its own.
In June, another massive Facebook outage kept millions of people from using the service.
