Social media site Facebook crashed Wednesday afternoon, preventing some one billion users from accessing the popular site. “Sorry, something went wrong,” the site’s homepage read around 3:45 p.m. “We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.” The outage lasted until just before 4 p.m. Eastern time. A Facebook spokesman said the outage occured during an “infrastructure configuration change.” “We immediately discovered the issue and fixed it, and everyone should now be able to connect,” the statement said. “We apologize for the inconvenience and will thoroughly investigate this issue so we can learn from it and ensure that Facebook is there when people need it.” People from around the world took their complaints to the next most popular social media site, Twitter.
