Breaking News: Twitter Down

It’s the morning of Wednesday, January 20, 2010, is Twitter down? The Download Squad blog says “YES” (Is Twitter down? Yes or No. Retrieved from http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/05/19/is-twitter-down-yes-or-no/). Other sources say “No” (Retrieved from http://istwitterdown.com/). Finally, our tiebreaker says ”It’s not just you!” (Is this web site down for everyone or is it just you? Retrieved from http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/Twitter.com).

From our perspective here at KMSToday.com, Twitter does appear to be down. Attempts to logon through the Twitter web interface result in the smiling Twitter Fail Whale (img) (Twitter is over capacity). Attempts to use third-party Twitter social media software like Tweet Adder (TweetAdder) and others result in errors on local computers where the software is installed.

Who knows, maybe Twitter is under attack—DoS again! No, not really, they should be back up by the time this KMSToday News is published.
