New Delhi: Photo sharing application Instagram crashed on Wednesday for a while and the exasperated users thronged to Twitter only to meet a series of jokes pulled upon them. Due to some glitch, the users were not able to see people’s profiles or pictures and were getting an error message reading “cannot refresh feed”. Soon after the error came into light, users took to social media to complain about the issue. Users started posting memes and jokes on the micro-blogging site as it went down. DownDetector’s live outage map showed that parts of North America, Europe, Australia, India, Singapore and other countries were facing issues with the service. Though Instagram is functioning normally again, the incident sparked a flood of jokes and memes on Twitter, about people immigrating to Twitter just because they lost Instagram and about those facing a sudden existential crisis; and after the app was restored, the joke was on people rushing out of Twitter again. The hashtag #instagramdown was trending on top for some time on the micro-blogging website. Check out the hilarious tweets here:
