Facebook’s f8.com went down ahead of the developer conference keynote kickoff. It was offline for more than 30 minutes, and the keynote began without the stream.

For those who are interested in catching the live stream, you can also find the stream directly on Facebook’s page, with the keynote featuring CEO Mark Zuckerberg. We’re embedding it below:
All in all, F8 was down for a good majority of Zuckerberg’s portion of the keynote.

Update May 1st, 1:32PM ET: F8’s website is now live.
