Apparently DNS services are getting hammered with much higher traffic than usual for Facebook domains (as FB DNS is down so millions of devices are continually retrying the lookup).

For twitter specifically, I also wouldn't be surprised if a non-trivial number of people have increased their use of twitter while facebook is down.

WhatsApp in the replies like "hi". I hate the internet.
