Buzz up! 0 Print.NEW YORK (AP) — Twitter is down. For users of the short messaging site, this means no tweeting about lunch plans, the weather or the fact that Twitter is down.
The company says in its status blog Thursday morning it is determining the cause and will provide an update shortly.
The status blog lets users know about planned outages and other issues on Twitter. This outage was not planned.
It’s not clear when the outage began, but it appears to have started midmorning Eastern time.
I can’t even get on FB now. I was looking at conservative sites yesterday and when I would click “see all” I would get an error message. I know, I know...it’s just my imagination but now I had this problem this morning bringing up any friends. Maybe WE are being targeted! I am becoming paranoid!
I was on the American Conservative page and when I click on the Favorite pages on the left hand side I get this message:
Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content
Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users.
It’s the same message I got yesterday. This IS NO Accident!
“All your base!”

There is supposed to be a Twitter Storm for #iamthemob today at 5:30 PM EST.
FB kept blanking out every time I would try to click on something. Now it’s working, just a little slow. But, I bet myspace is just fine. Hmph!
Tweeting on Twitter is so darn gay, anyway...
Facebook was slow this AM...was trying to play Mafia Wars.
maybe someone is trying to stop the use of Twitter to organize in the streets?
Any demonstrations planned anywhere today starting at 9?
When will it be FR’s turn?
Time to gird the servers and stand the line!
I am sitting in front of my computer!;)
I had a bagel for breakfast, and a Bloody Mary!
Chipped a fingernail putting up the Obama/Joker posters just now. Hope nobody finds out.
