For some reason, the guys link previous page, 'www.o.facebook.com' works fine?

Because www.o.facebook.com is different dns entry to www.facebook.com

Definitely a DDOS if it's working with a different DNS entry

C:\> ipconfig /flushdns

I'd say it was more likely a DNS issue, rather than a DOS attack. If it were a DOS attack, no matter what address you were getting you'd be unable to connect due to IP's being flooded.

'anonymous' who claimed responsibility for Godaddy and Facebook problems a couple of month or so ago were tweeting responsibility for Google earlier today, wouldn't surprise me if they come out and do the same again.

Hmm, maybe they could only shut down the base IP?

Yay, so glad facebook is back. I couldn't go a moment longer without one girl calling another girl "hun" or without seeing "Click like if you've got a head".
