The best Internet reactions to #facebookdown


MANILA - Popular social media sites Facebook and Instagram unexpectedly went down for almost an hour on Tuesday, prompting thousands to air a flurry of complaints and comments on rival site Twitter.

According to the Associated Press, the brief Facebook outage affected users in the United States and Asia.

In that time, many took the opportunity to vent and post snide remarks on Twitter using the hashtag #facebookdown.

"You mean people will only see my dinner on ONE form of social media?" quipped one user.

Instagram, meanwhile, acknowledged the outage on Twitter. "We're aware of an outage affecting Instagram and are working on a fix. Thank you for your patience," Instagram said.

On 2014, Facebook experienced similar brief outages during the months of June and August.
