According to a post on Twitter’s official blog for status updates, the company was aware of problems affecting its network from around 4 a.m. Eastern time.
Users’ profile pages appeared to be accessible from the mobile app. Third party services, such as the TweetDeck service, also returned a blank page. This issue has now been resolved. “Between 06:23 a.m. and 06:33 a.m. PST some users were experiencing issues accessing Twitter via mobile and Web”, the message reads. India and Russian Federation also suffered performance issues, according to a Twitter technical site. Twitter is also insisting that it will fix the problem as soon as possible.
The holding page on the social media site simply said: ‘Something is technically wrong.
Twitter administrators have noted in the company’s developer dashboard that three parts of its service are all seeing service disruption.
While these problems have been fixed, it is still not possible to search for users or hashtags on Twitter. Twitter confirmed the issue, saying, “Some users are now experiencing problems accessing Twitter”.
Original story (10:39 GMT): Twitter is experiencing a worldwide outage this morning, which appears to be intermittently preventing users from logging into the service.
But its growth as a social network, campaign platform (see: Donald Trump) and news feed (including the launch of its “Moments” feature last year) made those previous outages pale in comparison.
