Twitter Down to a Denial of Service Attack
I’ve gotten quite a few questions over email about Twitter being down, and here’s a couple of tips.
When you wonder whether a site is up or not, check DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com.
When you’re having a Twitter problem, check the Twitter status blog.
When you’re bored because everything’s down, go to a random Wikipedia article.
Update 11:30AM EST - Twitter is back online. Whew!
