Last night, the internet suffered a devastating blow when both Facebook and Instagram went down for a short period of time during my nap.

Sarah Palin has offered a response to the social media shitshow controversy (Doghazi? Stepstoolgate?) she set off by posting pictures of her dog being used as a stool by her son.

It's the end of year, which means the social networks are rolling out their annual year-end recaps telling us who and what "won the Internet" in 2014.
