You might experience today lots of issues on Facebook and FB Games.

Troubles like not seeing gifts, not loading neighbors, unable to post to your wall etc…

For once you can’t really blame it on Facebook nor Zynga.

Zynga servers need to connect to Facebook, and if Facebook is unresponsive it gives errors.

Why is today a day of troubles ?

A few days ago a group called anonymous did a test run to shut down Facebook and remarkably they managed even as it was for like 3-10 minutes, kinda unreal as Facebook has 60,000 servers.

They announced also that they would attack Facebook today the 28th January.

True or not , they did manage to put down the Sony PSN for over a month not so long ago.

Here is a copy of their announcement by tomsguide.com

Last week saw reports of Anonymous taking the form of a virtual wrecking ball and knocking down web sites of organizations related to the SOPA and PIPA bills, and the takedown of file hosting site Megaupload. These sites included the FBI, the MPAA, the RIAA and many others. But Anonymous is far from being done as it clearly showed on Sunday after taking down CBS.com, and in a video released on Monday (the video has been taken off youtube already).

According to the clip, Anonymous is now reaching out to everyone who backs the group’s cause. Why? To knock Facebook off the internet map. “While it is true that Facebook has at least 60,000 servers, it is still possible to bring it down,” the group states. “Anonymous needs the help of the people, the people who want to take a stand against the government, the people who want to make a difference. This is what we must do.”

 

What isn’t exactly clear is why Facebook is a target at all given its stance with PIPA and SOPA. The group mentions the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, but didn’t really explain its ties to Facebook.

This isn’t the first time Anonymous has threatened Facebook. The group released a video claiming that the social network would come crashing down on November 5, but that never happened. Still, if the latest threat holds true and the site goes down on Saturday, the worst that could happen to its users is that they can’t flood the feed with pixilated cartoons or minute-by-minute updates on the dog’s latest trick.

What do you think? Will they be able to shut down Facebook or cause severe troubles? Let us know.
