On Friday Night, Global Outage For Twitter Yet Again
Twitter last experienced a global outage on April 17 as well.

NEW DELHI:  With too many users on Twitter on Friday, the micro-blogging platform faced a global outage yet again at about 11 pm on Friday.

The service, which last experienced an outage on April 17 as something was "technically wrong," was once again offline for half an hour three days later.

The error message read: "Twitter is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later".

The problem was experienced by users on the website as well as the app, on both iOS and Android.

Twitter said that due to an internal issue people were unable to send tweets for about 30 minutes and the issue was resolved.

Though the outage was for half an hour, users vented out their frustration and also joked about the global outage. While some complained that they could not send direct messages, others said they could not quote retweet.

A Twitter user attributed the crash to American lawyer James Comey coming under investigation.

"News broke that Comey is under investigation and Twitter immediately crashed," read a tweet.

A user joked, "*Checks all other social media's including Twitter to see if Twitter is down*," while another wrote, "I couldn't even tweet about twitter being down."

WASHINGTON :  The Supreme Court's final oral argument of the term will be one of its most important and potentially far-reaching, an examination of the president's authority to protect the country by banning some foreigners who seek entry. But, similar to a debate that has consumed Washington, D.C., for the past 15 months, a major issue for the court is separating "the president" from "this president." The justices on Wednesday will consider President Donald Trump's third iteration of a travel ban that bars most nationals from a small group of mostly Muslim nations.  It is the first time the court has considered the merits of a policy that has consumed the administration since its start, and raises deep questions abo

Facebook is at a most perilous moment in 14-year history despite users saying they deleted Facebook. SAN FRANCISCO:  The crisis of public trust confronting Facebook has yet to impact the company's bottom line - at least for the time being. On Wednesday, Facebook said its first-quarter revenue, which is dominated by advertising, grew by 49 percent to $12 billion. Net profit jumped 65 percent from the same period a year earlier to $4.9 billion. Despite many users saying they deleted Facebook as the result of a privacy scandal that erupted in mid-March, 13 percent more people logged on each day in March than in the same month a year ago.  It's possible that the effect of deletions and other fallout will be more notable in the second quarter.
