Twitter sees a flood of memes again as Instagram down globally
MENLO PARK: Two weeks after Facebook-owned apps faced a global outage for nearly an hour, Instagram has reportedly stopped functioning again globally on Tuesday.
Providing statistics, real-time problem and outage monitoring site Down Detector said it had received the most complaints at 7:39 pm, that the app was not functioning.
Like earlier, Twitter, however, is still working, and Twitterati quickly took to the micro-blogging website, flooding it with memes.
