(WXYZ) - Whoa! It appears Facebook went down. Did you notice any issues?
Our digital team here at Channel 7 first noticed when none of us could log in or send out any updates. Then we started hearing from people who jumped on Twitter to find out what was going on.
We sent out a tweet from our station Twitter account @wxyzdetroit and instantly started receiving responses. Some people say they are able to get back in now, but some of us are still down.
Since then Facebook appears to be working, but we are still hearing some reports of problems. So it's not clear if everything has been worked out.
Read what some people said on Twitter after we asked if Facebook users were having trouble!
