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!

Ha! I was about to e-mail and ask you if *YOU* broke twitter. 🙂
Good info. I read somewhere else where the world is actually productive today.
you know that DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com was also down briefly because all the twitter addicts were hitting it to see if it was just them having a problem. Still having a problem with twitterberry today
