Facebook Crashed, Twitter Went Crazy in Record Time

Btw, Facebook is back up and working again!

On Friday night, Facebook went down for a few minutes and people, as expected, turned to Twitter to complain about the end of the world.

"It's the end of the world as we know it" 🙃 #facebookdown You are not alone 🥴😲#markzuckerberg #automaticforthepeople ? @remhq
