Facebook bug temporarily brings down apps, social features on third-party sites

Thousands of Facebook applications and third-party sites that utilize the social network’s login capabilities experienced a two-hour outage last night.

An issue with Facebook’s central JavaScript files prevented apps and some aspects of Facebook-connected sites from loading. Although the bug was reported and resolved within two hours, developers might notice a temporary dip in their apps’ usage for Thursday.

A user filed a bug report about the JavaScript issue, noting that all Zynga games were down, at 7:41 p.m.
