twitter down

Twitter Down: Twitter Doesn’t Know Why.

Twitter is currently experiencing extended downtime: a 30 minute outage that’s one of the longest in recent months. Back in 2007 and 2008, Twitter downtime was relatively frequent: this year the site has been far more stable and its early outages have been largely forgotten.

In the last 5 minutes, Twitter has acknowledged the downtime on its status blog, but adds that it’s unsure of the cause:Site is down. We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly.

We can’t help noticing, however, the top trending topics right before the downtime (top right). ;)

Meanwhile, over 90 Twitter refugees have joined our “Twitter is down” thread on Facebook.
