YouTube services were restored after 45 minutes.
“We’re back! Thanks for all of your patience. If you continue to experience issues, please let us know,” tweeted Team You Tube.
The global outage of YouTube comes a day after Twitter users, particularly iOS users, went into a frenzy for about an hour, when the app began streaming notifications in a cryptic series of alphanumeric characters.
Meanwhile, twitterati found it’s way to deal with the outrage:
Yes, our @YouTube is down, too. No, please don’t call 911 – we can’t fix it.
