As if the DNS record itself is missing.

That page seems to a bit stupid. It shows me the same for: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/google.com

Google has also had outages today.

If I put in other sites, I get the standard "it's just you. [site] is up" response. For example, http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/news.ycombinator.com

And if I put in a site I know no longer exists because we're no longer hosting it, I get "It's not just you! http://rocksrolldownhill.com looks down from here.": http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/rocksrolldownhill.com

Both the google and facebook outages appear to be unusual.

This being on the front page of HN right now is a great example of how boring and insubstantial tech news can be

It is down for me. It says "The server at www.facebook.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed." Workaround is using Opera with Turbo enabled. Or may be to use Tor.

Change your DNS to Google's: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
