Facebook Goes Down Amid Rollout of New Brand Pages

If you had read our earlier post, we’re delighted to inform you that Facebook is now back up. The company tweeted an apology, explaining that “some internal prototypes were exposed to people and resulted in us disabling the site briefly. It’s now back to normal.” Facebook Pages have also returned to their earlier (old) formats. Facebook just began rolling out several new features, including newly redesigned brand Pages (first revealed about a week and a half ago), a new Photos section dubbed “Memories” that allows users to view photos by year, and the ability to switch accounts for managing different Facebook Pages without having to log out.
