Facebook, its social plugins, apps and chat all were down during the period.

The Company has not yet spoken over the outage, however this outage can cost about £300,000 ($500,000) to Facebook, as the company is expected to be making £8,800 ($15,000) in revenue every 60 seconds.

Facebook looks to be working fine now. but a 30 minutes outage for social media giant is surely a big issue.

Update: A Facebook spokesperson told The Guardian that “Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused,”.
