Ellen’s Oscar selfie breaks Twitter
By: Salma Tantawi
It was the night every movie buff was waiting for, the 86th Academy Awards. But just as our eyes were glued to the TV screens, keeping up with the awards, presenters and performances, social users all around the world had their fingertips running on the keyboard with live posts and pictures and viral comments.
So viral that Twitter has reported a temporary outage which The Academy didn’t miss noting

Moreover, a star-stuffed selfie tweeted by host Ellen DeGeneres broke Twitter record with more than one million retweets...then two, to take the Most Retweeted Tweet of All Time title from Obama’s previous “Four more years” tweet. Ellen has reported later that she has been contacted by Twitter and the tweet might have been the reason behind the sudden outage.
