Facebook, Instagram, Hipchat, Tinder suffer widespread outage

By Rickey ·

Facebook, Instagram, Hipchat, Tinder and AIM all went down overnight Tuesday... causing a bigger panic than the Blizzard of 2015.

Users from the U.S., Asia and Australia are affected according to the AP. It comes at the worst possible time as Americans are keeping tabs on the blizzard hammering the Northeastern United States on Tuesday.

#facebookdown, #pray4facebook, Hipchat all trended immediately on Twitter (which was still up) when the outages occurred.
