The Onion parodies social media consultants:
“The world’s most successful companies know that social media is a powerful marketing tool, and Cameron Hughes knows how to make social marketing even more effective: by never injecting an ounce of effort into it.”
I’ve listed a few of the funny bits:
What The Interpipes Are Leaking Today – Found floating around online on the Facebook Page of Bogart the Explorer from Davao City:
“What if I told you,
You CAN eat without posting it on Instagram?”

Remember this one?
If it’s true that, “we are what we eat,” then back in college I was, “easy, fast, and cheap.” 😀
It’s not usual for Twitter to be offline and not even seeing the fail whale on a page. Nothing from the website will load. I first noticed at around 12:30 A.M. today, June 22, 2012.
A quick Google search led me to a scoop post by The Verge:
Twitter appears to be down for users across the US and other countries. Members of our staff in both the US and UK cannot access Twitter.com, and the social network’s APIs appear to be offline, too: first-party and third-party apps are both unable to send or receive tweets. It’s not rare for Twitter’s website to experience difficulties (also known as the fail whale), but the company’s website is unable to load at all at this time. It’s very rare for the social network’s APIs to break, though it appears to be coming and going. If you simply must send a tweet, mobile.twitter.com seems to be loading up just fine. We’ve reached out to Twitter to see what the problem is, and we’ll update this post when we hear more.
Twitter is still down as of posting this at 12:54 A.M. (+8 GMT), June 22, 2012.
