Facebook and twitter was down

Twitter down today? Yup, so of course the social media addicts head on over to Facebook, which is experiencing outages of its own, although fortunately less frequent ones. Mashable staff are experiencing everything from “Network Errors” (below) to a good percentage of pages simply failing to load.

Mashable commenters add that they’re also struggling with Facebook, the likely cause being a flood ofTwitter traffic hitting the site.

Is Facebook failing for you? Let us know in the comments.
