Twitter goes offline world wide

270

The social website Twitter has broken out with the network’s website and mobile apps inaccessible.

Visitors to the website were greeted by a message telling them that “Something is technically wrong”.

“Thanks for noticing,” the message reads. “We’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.”

Mobile apps as well as the website itself appeared to be broken. Tweetdeck, Twitter’s other official client, was also broken.

Twitter’s official status page didn’t show any information about the outage, at the time of publishing, though it is often slow to update.

But the Down Detector website showed a huge spike in reports on Tuesday morning UK time.
