Can you follow a cover on Twitter? Hollywood Reporter says:

Twitter did not explode in disbelief. Some people who use Twitter exploded in disbelief. There was no comment from the code that comprises Twitter, or the servers that house the code.

The cover captures the exact moment someone threw a manhole cover on its unholy head.
