OMG! My Facebook Photos Are Gone!!

No, your Facebook photos aren’t lost. But Facebook’s photo storage hard drive did have some major problems over the weekend. According to the Facebook blog, a routine software upgrade on Friday night resulted in the loss of some 10-15% of its users’ photos. Considering the millions of users (and billions of photos) Facebook has, even a 10% loss is catastrophic. The affected photos are appearing with “question mark” graphics instead of the images themselves.

So far, Facebook has reported that about one-third of the affected photos have been repaired.
