Twitter DDOSed?
Just saw this:
http://isitup.org/twitter.com:
twitter.com seems to be down!
Go back to check another site or save this as your default.
Comments
Their status page (API health seems to be up though) appears to be down as well. Must be some attack, that's if it is one and not the cleaner unplugging the severs for her hoover, to take down Twitter though.
More likely they have some sort of internal application problem.
Not everything that is down got DDoSsed.
UUUGGGGNNNNNAAAAAZZZZIIIIIII

And there goes my hope to get a(nother) beta dedi from OVH
UGNazi probably DoS'ed them for allowing McDonalds to use Twitter.com
What does OVH to do with twitter beeing down? O.o
Oh wow ... but I think ugnazi probably had nothing to do with it.
they claim they did http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable/~3/rkZYtzKb-3o/
sick of these people, don't they have jobs? bills? something else they should be spending their time on?

Trust me, they didn't. If you ever come across anything claimed by either UGNazi or someone named 'Reckz0r', assume it is bullshit unless they can actually undeniably prove they did it. They're famewhores.
Seems not, sadly.
Correction: If you ever come across anything claimed by anyone assume it is undeniably prooven
I hope that was a typo
Looks like it was just a bug:

@EricCubixCloud They can of course say anything they want but I guess admitting there is a hardware bug is better than admiting an DDOS attack...
Either way, it was pretty bad for them with all the downtime and stuff all these while, may be they should get an LEB provider to consult them on a HA environment, LOL
@zhuanyi why is that better than saying they were ddosed?
Anyone who's complaining: You should ask for your money back.
