Right, 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".
Interesting 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.
I 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 :).
I 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:
It 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.
