The social networking Web site went down for some this morning, with people unable to post a status update or even access the site.

Facebook has confirmed to CNET via a statement that there were issues that popped up during network maintenance.

Here's the full statement:

Earlier this morning, while performing some network maintenance, we experienced an issue that prevented some users from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We're sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused.
