Twitter might be working again for many, but people still can't help tweeting #TwitterDown

10 months ago

The internet is a strange place, and perhaps there is no part of it that fits this judgment better than social media.

And on the day that Twitter struggled to stay online this was perfectly summed up by the head-spinning scenario of social media users waiting for a platform to come back online in order to post about it going offline in the first place.

This is exactly what happened on Twitter, with #TwitterDown riding high in the trends all day – a somewhat ironic notion given that in order to know this, Twitter had to be up and running. Oh, internet.

Thank goodness things appear to be almost back to normal now.
