Can't post new updates

I have the same problem

I can see other's updates, but can't update myself. The update button looks like it's working. but the spinner icon keeps spinning for hours!

same problem here ... i can see everyone's updates but can't update or reply myself the spinner icon just keeps spinning, I left it go for over an hour just to see if it would ever go through and it did not go through nor did it stop spinning.

I've been having the same problem since yesterday morning. Click update & the spinner starts but the post just sits in the text box and never appears on my twitter page.

I use Firefox & tried logging out & in again, restarting the computer - still couldn't post.

Then I switched to Explorer and was able to post with no problem.

I hope they get this straightened out - I prefer Firefox & would rather not have to use a different browser just to tweet.

Can't Tweet! : past 2 days, I am unable to update my activities , it just gets stuck on the countdown before updating.

And now, it doesn't even recognize my e-mail address!! So I can't be notified when this problem is fixed!

Same problem. Whole point of twitter is that it's quick, but have wasted a fair time trying to figure out what's wrong.
Also can't block anyone right now, so can get boring tweets but not post my own exciting ones!

Hey everybody,

Sorry about your troubles, same thing is going on here. Hasn't been working for over a full day now for me. While it's down, I'm trying to help as many people as possible get some answers.

If you want to know what's going on, go to status.twitter.com and they post quick updates there every so often letting users like you and I, know what's going on.

Unfortunately, all we can do right now is just sit and wait.

I'd like to post this:

"Hopes to stream workshop 'Intro to World Univ & Sch in SL' to web -Teach at World University: http://tinyurl.com/ny34bb ~ Th, Aug 13 at 3:30"

but also still can't ...

Mine has been this way since the first big DOS attack. Once in a while I could post, but mostly the wheel gizmo spins endlessly when I try to say anything.

Have been able to tweet once in all 5 days I've had this account. Can't find any way to Talk to some on at Twitter. This is just bad customer service. If you want people to use a product you have 1. It needs to work and 2. People want to take to HUMANS should they have any problems.

Get on it Twitter or you'll be loosing users and therefor advertisers.

This morning I discovered that I can post basic tweets but CANNOT put in a URL or a hashtag! This lack makes the service nearly irrelevant to me!

Send email detailing your problem to: support@twitter.com

My issue was fixed a few hours after I did that.

I had same problem with firefox. I went to FF tools --> options --> privacy and then clicked on the "show cookies" button on right. Then selected the Twitter cookies (and twitter add-ons) and deleted them all - folders and everything.

It has worked fine for me since then. Good luck!

No, it won't work if you block the cookies.

Experiencing same problem. Reported to support@twitter.com . Am hopeful to ge the matter resolved.

I have found i have the same problem. although i can update through my myspace account.... but i cant through twitter.com or through tweet deck.
