Is Facebook down? You're not alone

NEW YORK - Users across the planet were complaining about not being able to update their Facebook status Monday morning due to problems on the social media platform.

It's unclear how widespread the issue was or how long it had been going on put people turned to the other huge social media platform, Twitter, to complain about the issue until it started clearing up around 10 a.m.

Users from Australia to the United States had noted problems updating their so-called Facebook Walls.

Some updates had been sporadically going through the Facebook system but were not hitting the user's wall.  Facebook had not issued a statement on the outage.
