That's what I think may be wrong today. What do you guys think? With the introduction of the "LIKE" button comes hundreds of millions of new connections running through facebook servers every day. It may be too much for them to handle.
The Like button has only replaced the Become a fan button, so no, it won't affect their servers at all.
Actually, Facebook was down for many users the other day. And LH-Danny, one of the updates was that the Like button has replaced the Become a Fan button, but another new feature Facebook rolled out last week is the universal "like" button, which can be installed on any website on the web.

Facebook just bought another 30 000 servers to cope with the "like" button and other features. I think they will be fine, LOL.
