When a certain big social media platform went down on October 4, Twitter lit up. Everyone rushed to the bird app to hang out, so we dropped a Tweet from @Twitter to say hi to all of our friends, old and new.

By the end of the day, the Tweet became the 2nd most liked Tweet of 2021 (globally!), the 6th most liked Tweet of ALL TIME, and was featured on Good Morning America, the Late Show, & the cover of the New York Times.

Like all great (or terrible) Tweets, it made it onto late night TV.

Skip to the 2:50 mark for the good stuff.

And found its way to the cover of the NYTimes and other places.

Sixth most liked Tweet of all time in the history of Twitter?! Yes.
