The social networking site mysteriously stopped working, leaving many users around the world unable to satisfy their communication needs for a mortifying 30 minutes!<\/p>\n<p>Many turned to Twitter instead, where the hashtag #FaceBookDown gathered a host of comments and pictures, all with 140 characters or less for social media users around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Just how much money did Facebook lose from the 30-minute outage?<\/p>\n<h2>Estimated Lost<\/h2>\n<p>According to Gizmodo, in 2014 Facebook snagged a US$15,152 (RM5,4672.96) of revenue per minute, with US$2,887 (RM10417.16) of that coming in as profit.<\/p>\n<p>This means that the 30-minute downtime could have cost Facebook an estimated revenue loss of US$454,560 (RM1.6mil) and an estimated profit loss of US$86,610 (RM312,514)!<\/p>\n<p>Reports of the downtime came from various continents, including Asia, North America, and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The problem also appeared to have affected the Facebook-owned photo-sharing site, Instagram.

Its total count has reportedly hit 1.35 billion monthly.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope that it doesn\u2019t happen again.
