The two communication giants experienced severe technical problems after undergoing a denial-of-service attack. Because of this, the popular website Facebook suffered from very slow to non-functioning features whereas its crackishly addictive counterpart Twitter was completely inaccessible for several hours. Thousands of folks were found frantically running through the streets overcome with confusion, sadness and anger because they experienced such a great loss in the community (just kidding, but it wouldn’t have been a total surprise to see that).
