The Twitter website and app went down in a shock outage this afternoon, according to reports from around the world.
Users attempting to access the platform were shown an error message that read 'something is technically wrong'. Since Twitter's services returned to normal, users have posted a series of hilarious tweets, with one writing: 'I actually [sic] got work done. Never been so scared in my life.' Issues began around since 3:00pm BST (11:00am ET) but just over half an hour later all services were restored.
