Dubai Twitter Has Gone Into Diva Frenzy After The Holy Trinity Of Social Media Went Down
Life was going great up until about the afternoon, when Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp decided to go down and come to a halt.
Naturally, our digitally-savvy colleagues at the Lovin Dubai office had to research and make sure it wasn’t just our office internet connection that was the issue.
So onto Twitter, we went and found that NOT only did this social media meltdown affect the whole of Dubai but the world. Again.
And it’s safe to say, you truly get to know people after our backbones (aka social media apps) stop functioning
Have a look at some of these dashing exhibits…
