YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS. Facebook services appeared to go down early Tuesday, returning a little more than half an hour after the hashtag #FacebookDown trended on Twitter.

As reports “Armenpress” citing CNN, Shortly after 12:10 a.m. ET, Facebook and Instagram went quiet.

Some users were greeted with a message that said, "Sorry, something went wrong." For others, the page wouldn't load.

The outage affected a large portion of the United States, according to downdetector.com. Users in Australia and New Zealand also reported having trouble logging on.

"We're aware that many people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook and Instagram," said Facebook spokeswoman Charlene Chian told CNN. "We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."

But two hours is an eternity! Without Facebook, how are you supposed to know which friends are having birthdays? Without Instagram, are you supposed to just describe your dinner?

People quickly took to Twitter. And the outage quickly spawned a hashtag, #facebookdown.

By 2:15 a.m. ET, both sites were up and running.

And all was right with the world!
