Déjà Vu: Facebook Down Again. Like Buttons Vanish Again. Web Panics Again.

It was almost exactly one month ago that Facebook went down for a couple of hours — their worst downtime in four years. Well, it looks like they’re not waiting that long to get their downtime on again as the service appears to be completely down once again. And yes, it has taken all the social connections of the web with it.

Some of our writers have seen it intermittently up over the past 20 minutes or so. While others say it has been totally down the whole time. The Internet confirms such reports.

Hold on to your butts.

Update: Quite a few commenters are suggesting this may have to do with a new Facebook feature that allows users to link their profiles with their Orkut profiles. Something tells me Google won’t like that tool too much.
