LinkedIn suffered a rare service disruption on Wednesday morning, which prevented many users from properly loading the website.
The company did not immediately respond to our request for comment on the cause or extent of the outage, but Downrightnow.com shows there has been a "likely service disruption" for the better part an hour. LinkedIn acknowledged that it is "currently experiencing some issues" in a statement provided to Mashable and in the tweet below:
Our site is currently experiencing some issues. Our team is actively working on it. We'll keep you updated here. Thanks for your patience.— LinkedIn Help (@LinkedInHelp) October 23, 2013
