Facebook briefly takes over entire Internet with redirection bug
The Facebook error page to which affected users were redirected.
A bug with Facebook's ubiquitous embedded widgets redirected millions from the websites they were visiting to Facebook itself Thursday. It's now fixed, but for awhile, some of the largest sites in the world were inaccessible.

Users not logged into Facebook did not get the error, which led people to conclude, correctly, that the problem was with the Facebook Connect service, which governs "likes," "comments" and other Web-based features of the social network.
Facebook declined to disclose the specifics of the error, but offered the following statement via email to NBC News: More here -http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/facebook-briefly-takes-...
