Tweeting the market plunge
With world markets experiencing losses, Twitter chimed in on the global economic panic.
A dip in Chinese stocks on Monday has sent other world markets sliding, with the Dow Jones falling more than 1,000 points at its open.
China’s main index dropped 8.5 percent — its biggest one-day drop since 2007 — in the wake of concerns about a slowdown in the country’s economy.
Here’s a brief Twitter history of Monday’s chaotic morning and afternoon:

Look, it doesn't matter what you bought or what you sold. The important thing is that you panicked.
