I can confirm that Twitter for the web (mobile works for some) has been out for users in Nigeria and Ghana for quite a long time (over 20 mins). Are you affected too? What is your location?

According to the Guardian, Twitter confirmed the worldwide outage by tweeting from their @support account. Realising the issue, they had to email the tweet so that news agencies could actually see it.

Haha! This was awesome!

Twitter is quite a critical infrastructure to have a single point of failure.

I just logged back into my APP.NET account https://alpha.app.net/

I know it's wishful thinking to assume this could revive it but I wish Dalton would email everyone to inform them there is still a way they can argue with strangers online. :)

Jokes aside, most people have zero ways to interact with people they had been in constant touch with via Twitter now that it is down.

Crazy!

It is down for me here in Germany as well.

Just posting the status link http://status.twitter.com/ They are aware.
