Not even Twitter can survive the outages, blame it on internal configuration changes

In the past few months we've been experiencing some unexpected social media outages, we all have been wondering what the heck is going on.The last incident happen yesterday at around 2:40PM ET according to The Verge it lasted an 1 hour and it spread through the US, Asia and Europe. Twitter let its users know everything was back to normal by tweeting a simple "miss us?" they later explained the outage was do to an "internal configuration change". Coincidentally it happen during a social media summit at the White House where Trump suporters gather to hear what plans the president had to combat the 'anti-conservative social media bias", nothing really emerge from the summit.


The world's largest social media platform, Facebook, has experience some problems of its own with the first outage happening on March 13th which lasted over a day for some users, the effects trickled down to the other platforms, Instagram and Whatsapp owned by Facebook. The same thing happen about a week ago, this outages lasted throughout the day. Accourding to The Guardian the company said "it was working to resolve issues faced by users while sending media files on its media platforms and messaging services" the New York Times reported back in January that the company's chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg plans to rewrite the software of the three platforms so that they could be interoperable. The company hasn't been completely open or transparent about the situation as they did not offer any comment during the March 13th incident, second time around they said on a statement that the problems user experienced were do to "routine maintenance operations". Whether the statement is true or not it remains to be seen. Let me know what you  guys think on the comment section below.
