Twitter went down and people just couldn’t handle it – our 21 favourite reactions
The internet went into a mini meltdown on Thursday evening when Twitter stopped working for a while, leaving users feeling obliged to go and correct people’s grammar in real life. After an hour, function was gradually restored and the relief was palpable.
We were down…and now slowly coming back up. Sorry! Grateful for our operations and engineering teams for getting us flying again.

The major irony of Twitter being down was that everybody really wanted to tweet about it.
