Twitter is Down—And There's No Whale in Sight!Posted by Knowlton

Twitter has been down for more than half an hour for most people.

It's now back for some, apparently, but only on a very spotty and slow
basis.

What's weird is that normally when Twitter is down, there's the "fail
whale" present to tell you so. But with this outage, it's just pure
oblivion.

For a while, even Twitter's Status page <http://status.twitter.com/> was
down—the last page to collapse in a server outage. The social network wrote
a brief message: "Users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter. Our
engineers are currently working to resolve the issue."
