"A Facebook rep tells us, "During our regular code push earlier this evening,
a bug caused some misrouting to a small number of users for a short period of 
time.
Our engineers diagnosed the problem moments after it began and are working to 
get everything back in its rightful place.
While they fix the issue, affected users will not be able to access the site."

Good to know that only a small number of users were affected, but still 
embarrassing.
This obviously won't be acceptable if Facebook actually has hopes to become an 
email provider."

Last week Hotmail had similar issues:
""Microsoft is investigating reports of a limited number of instances in which 
Windows Live customers
may have access to other customers' accounts when accessing their account 
through mobile Web browser,"
the company said in a statement Tuesday."
