TECHNOLOGY
In another technical downtime, second in two days, Facebook servers were down for a whole 10 minutes, sending the online world into a panic. And social media being what it is, users took funny digs at the extreme reactions that followed the crashing of one of world's largest social networking website.
Interestingly, this is the third such even this year, even though earlier this week, Jay Parikh, Facebook's vice president of infrastructure engineering had said at Gigaom Structure 2014 in San Francisco that how changes to both software and hardware behind the scenes have enabled the world's largest social network to serve its users with relatively little to no downtime.
Here are some of the funniest tweets that did the round.
