Instead, they were greeted with the message ‘Welcome to your timeline’. All tabs on the platform, including ‘Following, For You and Lists’ were empty. Within minutes of the outage, the hashtag ‘#TwitterDown’ started trending on the social media platform. Despite the outage, users were still able to tweet, but their tweets were not visible to anyone.
