tweets taking HOURS to show up on Twitter?
When I send a tweet from my Verizon phone it won't show up on Twitter for literally HOURS. This began about a week ago, with around an hour delay and has gotten worse since - the delay is now around 6 or 7 hours. There doesn't seem to be a delay in messages DELIVERED TO my phone, just in tweets sent FROM my phone TO TWITTER. I called Verizon because I thought there might be a problem with my messaging, but I haven't had any difficulties with texts to friends and Verizon didn't know know what Twitter was - they suggested the problem was with Twitter itself.
What's going on!!? Isn't the POINT of Twitter to post what you're doing RIGHT NOW?

You're not alone with this problem, which has affected many Verizon (USA) users over the past week or so.
For all VERIZON USA customers with SMS text issues: please click here and follow the instructions there.
I’m happy to help you on your way.

Inappropriate?I am also having this problem but I am on the AT&T network. My tweets from my cell are either showing up hours after I send them or not showing up in my timeline at all.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I had previously tried deleting and re-adding my phone - with no success - but I JUST tried it again and so far, my tweets are going straight through. Don't know if you've tried this yet, but it's worth a shot...
I’m undecided - how long will it last!!

Inappropriate?If you haven't yet done so, this is not a good time to try deleting & re-adding your phone - or, indeed, make any other drastic adjustments which you can't easily undo.
Any issues which first appeared at approx. 14:00 UTC on Thursday 6th. August 2009 or later may be side effects of the massive DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on Twitter and related services via the Internet.
As a result, many parts of Twitter - and 3rd.-party applications such as http://dabr.co.uk and http://m.tweete.net - are working poorly or not at all. Even updates from the phone are disrupted for many users.
I hope things will be back to normal within a few days - though of course I've no idea if this will be the case.
To keep up to date with Twitter's attempts to get things back to normal:
• Follow @Twitter (if you can follow people at present)
• Read Twitter's newest posts at http://status.twitter.com and http://blog.twitter.com/
Meanwhile, some 3rd.-party alternatives (which have worked for me at least partially):
• http://dabr.co.uk is actively devising workarounds and has a list of @dabr mirror sites
• http://tweetgrid.com worked for me even whilst http://twitter.com was officially 'down' on Thursday afternoon.
I’m medium-term hopeful (on this one, at least)...
