  • ju_sung_lee juicero (@ju_sung_lee) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @t_durdy might be trying to consolidate everything into a smaller set of apps. Facebook shut down the Groups app because it was making a significant dent in the core app's MAU (some people like me were happy with just Events, Groups, Messenger). Probably same deal with Google's core app.

  • IrlEmbAthens Irish Embassy Athens (@IrlEmbAthens) reported from Galway City, Connaught

    If you’re trying to get in touch w friends or family use WhatsApp/FB messenger/Viber/Skype/similar platforms as there are some issues with phone signal & land lines. Elevators should be avoided if possible until all aftershocks have passed. Keep following local news for updates.

  • AdeByrne Ade Byrne Esq.🏂 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺 (@AdeByrne) reported from Southampton, England
