Twitter seems to be experiencing a rather massive outage this morning. The social media site has been down for around an hour and a half. There is no word on what the issue is or when it will be resolved. Twitter’s official status blog states they are looking into the issue: Twitter Status
Yeah I noticed this today, funny that Facebook has been REALLY slow from here was well, almost inaccessible, one wonders if someone’s staging a huge DOS attack or something.
