twitter down
It seems to be that the Twitter server is down at the moment and users can't access the site. The status site has left a note saying “Currently experiencing elevated error rates — You may experience some problems loading twitter.com and with Twitter clients. We are aware of the problem and are taking action.”
Based on some searches on Google, it does appear that some people are able to post messages — it does look like if you use a third-party client (Seesmic, HooterSuite, TweetDeck) you might still be able to get in. This is the first time for an extended Twitter outage in quite a long time. In the old days of Twitter outages, we would all hop on the bus to Friendfeed but that is no longer an option since many have left that service. If you are a social media ninja, social media rockstar and are really upset or need someone to talk to because of this outage, please call 867-5309.
So it seems a lot of people who use the Twitter site will be disgruntled with the technical fault and will want to know why it occured.
