Twitter is down
- kaushalmodi 8y agoAnd this news is HN worthy?
- k_ 8y agoIt could become one, depending on why twitter is down or how long it stays down. But yeah, nothing much to say or show for now.
- rambossa 8y agoTwitter being down (widespread) for even a minute seems pretty huge imo.
- kaushalmodi 8y agoRight, I would love to read such posts with the forensics on what happened. But just 3-word phrase titled "posts" with zero-content should be discouraged from floating to the HN front-page.. otherwise this would be just another "reddit".
- EamonnMR 8y agoIf only because twitter is usually where one turns once an outage is reported on HN.
- romanovcode 8y agoKarma.
- MrSaints 8y agoI thought it might've just been me at first since I normally use Twitter to confirm if X is down for everyone else. It doesn't help that their status page shows: > All Systems Operational

- cryptoz 8y agoIt says "Twitter is taking too long to load" on mobile right now. But actually it always says that, 100% of the time, when I arrive at twitter.com on my Android phone. Yes it is down but it is always down. On mobile at least.
- exogeny 8y agoDown for me. Haven't seen the failwhale in a while, it's like being transported back in time!
- quantumwoke 8y agoI thought Twitter was still up as my feed was loading. Looks like it's restricted to viewing user profiles. Maybe there will be a brief uptick in productivity during the outage :).
- k_ 8y agoUser profiles _sometimes_ load, indeed. Edit: and tweeting actually works
- KevanM 8y agoAll fine according to https://status.twitterstat.us https://status.twitterstat.us
- k_ 8y agoSeems like this "meme" comes from twitter HQ after all https://media.giphy.com/media/z9AUvhAEiXOqA/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/z9AUvhAEiXOqA/giphy.gif
- rambossa 8y agointeresting outage map: http://downdetector.com/status/twitter/map/ http://downdetector.com/status/twitter/map/
- HenryBemis 8y agoIn the map I see areas marked with red on Japan, London, Barcelona, New York, and 2 pink-ish locations in the USA.
- laumars 8y agoInteresting how? All that is showing is people who are awake (timezone differences and all) and aware of downdetector.com. The areas without blotches doesn't mean Twitter is up - just that not enough people have used downdetector to test Twitter in that region.
- rambossa 8y agoRight, cool. Still find it interesting.
- jwildeboer 8y agoIt was down for 5 minutes, came back for 5 minutes, is now down again for me (website and iOS app, Munich, Germany)
- scolson 8y agoWow, I haven't seen this repost since like 2009
- rabidonrails 8y agoGetting this page on login: "Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."

- jasonhanley 8y agoDown here. Hardly news considering it's Twitter :P
- hartator 8y agoDown for me as well, Austin, TX.
- dmurthy 8y agoDown here / Bangalore, India
- jasonincanada 8y agoThe web client is down here in Ontario but my rainbowstream feed is still going. @AP tweeted a minute ago about Morocco's 2026 world cup bid.
- varjag 8y agoAny chance it is some domino effect from today's Russian carpetban? Twitter is integrated in their law enforcement intercept there.
- ha-shine 8y agoIt's intermittent here / Singapore.
- royka118 8y agoDown for me as well, Bristol UK
- aelmeleegy 8y agoWebsite is down, but Twitterific is working fine!
- k_ 8y agoSeems to be back for good this time
- heenal 8y agoits up again for me in Bonn, Germany
- FLUX-YOU 8y agoA sigh of relief as Trump cannot tweet.
- wingi 8y agoBelieve me - that's great!
- the-dude 8y agoSad!
- k_ 8y agoWell, sadly, he can. Loading profiles sometimes works, and posting tweets works too: https://twitter.com/_kLabz_/status/986248991133392896 https://twitter.com/_kLabz_/status/986248991133392896 (don't mind the account or the tweet itself, I'm not after any exposure)
