Inappropriate?Hey all,
We're seeing an unusual amount of activity on our network currently. We're all working to determine the source and how to bring the service back to a speedy state. This is not related to the scheduled downtime tonight.
We'll keep y'all updated. Thanks for your patience,
Jack.

Jackster... are you trying to infer that someone may be hacking at Twitter? I hope not. Someone better check to see where Kevin Rose is right now. Hey, I'm not making any implications here... -
Inappropriate?exador23, you need to learn how to tell TwitterTime. First, you take a clock. Then you ignore whatever time is on it. Whatever time it's not, that's when Twitter will be down. Hope this reply is the one that solves the problem. Time for a cheap BrightKite plug. Go there and look for me. It actually works ;) Oh, I see Jack responded. Don't look at me. I have an alibi.
I’m sassy... and cute.

Inappropriate?Keep Twitter down for two hours and get your 'special' maintenance done now. Why waste our time TWICE or more each day?
I’m annoyed.

Inappropriate?i just posted a message via twirl and that worked, I can't get to the website, some things are moving, just very slow, just what I needed to wake up to see.
I’m ok, having breakfast
-
Inappropriate?I think that is broken too, its abit strange that twirl did not give me an error message when I tweeted, it normally does when twitter is down
-
Inappropriate?appears to be back up, but tweets are splayed across the screen overlapping the user/profile/followers area.
I browse with the G4 build of Camino 1.6, so not your typical viewing environment. -
Inappropriate?I can't remove someone I'm following. I keep getting and error message saying something went wrong, refresh my browser and try again. I've tried. 10 times. I guess I'm the dumb one to keep trying. ;)
I’m humorously frustrated
-
Inappropriate?I can't follow someone, this is frustrating, as I don't want to remember their name and come back to this later...
I’m ready to give up
-
Inappropriate?I just started twittering today, and was able to "follow" a few people before the site went down. Now whenever I hit the Follow button I get the "Something went wrong" alert.
I’m frustratedly confused
-
Inappropriate?We're working on the following problem now.
-
Inappropriate?It's probably all of the Zappos employees
They are taking Twitter by storm :)
I’m laughing
-
Inappropriate?And the fix for the "following" problem is now being deployed.
1 person says
this solves the problem
-
Inappropriate?curious what the slow down was. I'm beginning to see suspected bot followers phishing for return followers, like this one...
