Social networking site Facebook is mainly unavailable this afternoon.

Several Register readers mailed to tell us of the problem for UK surfers.

A spokeswoman for Facebook UK told The Reg it was aware of the problems and was investigating.

The site (http://www.facebook.com) is showing a blank page.

Maybe too many people are trying to organise their trips to Glastonbury this weekend. Or maybe the admins have taken a page from Faceparty's book (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/24/faceparty_zoo_trip/) and gone to the zoo. ®
