Following are some straight forward tweets by the users worldwide using “hashtags ‘#facebookdown”;

"When Facebook goes down, I go to twitter to see if it is a real deal,"
"Yes, I'm not the only one with #facebookdown."
"#Facebook is not working properly right now," another user wrote. "#facebookdown."

Facebook didn’t respond immediately to a request for comment, and for an explanation of what had instigated the blackout. Meanwhile, more Twitter users posted a warning tweets for still having same issues and is there any solution to overcome from this.
