However the outage seems to be so acute that even the Like Widget on websites and blogs including the one on Techworm is throwing up error message. The Facebook outage first occurred around 1.10 am ET and Instagram went down subsequently followed by Tinder. Luckily for users, the Facebook owned mobile instant messaging App, WhatsApp is operating normally as of now.

— Adrian Carrasquillo (@Carrasquillo) January 27, 2015 We have contacted Facebook for the reasons for the outage and to get the ETA of Facebook and Instagram getting back on their feet and will keep you updated. Facebook has just acknowledged something was wrong with an error message on its main site while the isitdownrightnow site seems to be knocked offline after a barrage of users querying the usual “is Facebook down?” on its site. That is what we call, a collateral damage!!
