LinkedIn was down for some users Wednesday afternoon, the second outage in a month.
Users began reporting problems accessing the professional social network’s website and app at about 3 p.m. About 40 minutes later, some had regained access. By 4:30, the company said the site’s troubles had been fixed.
Different error messages met different users. Some saw a windshield wiper cleaning off a dirty LinkedIn logo with the message, “We’re getting things cleaned up. We’ll be back soon.” Others saw a 503: Service Unavailable error.
At 3:20 p.m., the LinkedIn support Twitter account responded to users.
“Some members may be experiencing issues with our site,” a LinkedIn spokeswoman said, echoing the tweet
