Facebook, get your sh*t together!
Just four days after the longest outage in Facebook history, it appears that Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram are having issues again.
As of mid-morning Pacific Time Friday, Instagram was failing to load new content for some users. Down Detector (which is owned by Mashable's parent company, Ziff Davis), showed spikes in user incident reports around 11 a.m. PT. Problems appeared concentrated in major U.S. cities across the country.
