Twitter is down

Looks like twitter is currently down right now!

Twitter appears to be experiencing a massive outage. Members of our staff in both the US and UK cannot access Twitter.com, and the social network’s APIs appear to be offline, too: first-party and third-party apps are both unable to send or receive tweets. It’s not rare for Twitter’s website to experience difficulties (also known as the fail whale), but the entire site is unable to load at this time. It’s very rare for the social network’s APIs to break, though they appear to be coming and going. If you simply must send a tweet, mobile.twitter.com seems to be loading up just fine, though it’s not running at full speed. We’ve reached out to Twitter to see what the problem is, and we’ll update this post when we hear more.
