Don't you wish there was a "dislike" button today? Yes, Facebook has crashed.

Now, the online world in all-a-buzz.

Daily News reporter Anjali Khosla Mullany reports, "the cause of the crash is currently unclear, but it's not the first time this week that Facebook has been down. Mashable.com reported yesterday that Facebook's website was briefly inaccesible on Wednesday."

TechCrunch's MG Siegeler posted earlier:

"If you’re currently writing us an email to tip us that Facebook is down, you can stop — we’ve gotten a few hundred of those in the past few minutes. Yes, Facebook appears to be down at the moment. I’m currently getting a DNS failure message, others are apparently seeing other things."

Apparently, TechCrunch received this statement from Facebook: "We’re currently experiencing some site issues causing Facebook to be slow or unavailable for some users.  We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible."
