Didn’t Twitter postpone some needed technical upgrading during the Iranian protests? Perhaps they are performing it now.

Yeah what’s up with facebook? I can’t post links. I thought it was because I generally link conservative footage and they were out to get me!

Yes, twitter is shot right now. Facebook is having problems if you want to post something. At least FR is humming along...

Nope, I was wrong. I found this on CNN's blog website:

"As all you Twitter addicts out there probably know, the service has been down since earlier this morning. Turns out it’s not just a technical glitch — somebody’s apparently targeting the site.

"From status.twitter.com: "We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.

"By the way, some Facebook folks are also reporting problems logging on/navigating around. We’ll bring you more on all this as it develops.

It’s down, up, now down again on my computer. I notice Beck has not tweeted for several days.

The Twitter API is still working. Applications like Tweetdeck are working, the website is down.

We can use FR as an emergency backup.

I had a bagel for breakfast.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Twitter-outage-clamps-tweets-apf-349574516.html?x=0&.v=3

On Thursday August 6, 2009, 10:45 am EDT
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.
