It just occurred to me to wonder if Facebook has a Twitter account and if they used it to update people about the outage. It turns out they do, and they did, which makes sense. Boy, it must have been galling to have to use a competing communication network to tell people that your network is down.

It looks like Zuckerberg doesn't have a personal Twitter though, nor does Jack Dorsey have a public Facebook page (or they're set not to show up in search).

His LinkedIn photo used to be this really awkward laptop camera photo of roughly this face: (-_-)

It was amazing. I’m sad he remove it.

Ah, I saw that one, but it wasn't verified so I figured it was an imposter. It has only a handful of tweets from 2009 and 1 from 2012, but it could really be him, I suppose.

They have an official account. https://twitter.com/Facebook/status/1445061804636479493

hint: "some people".

I’m not sure they are competing though. They serve different purposes and co-exist pretty well together.
