Is Twitter down for anyone else?

[rubiquity]

The copyright on Twitter's maintenance page is still set to 2012.

As far as I know, it doesn't have to (shouldn't?) be updated for the current year if it doesn't change.

From http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap4.html#401:

If a notice appears on the copies, it shall consist of the following three elements:

(1) the symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word “Copyright”, or the abbreviation “Copr.”; and

(2) the year of first publication of the work

If they haven't touched this page since 2012 (totally reasonable), I think it should be 2012.

This blog post (http://www.photoattorney.com/qa-what-year-should-i-use-for-m...) also mentions that you can use a range for when it covers multiple years of publication (like a blog).

"var d = new Date(); var n = d.getFullYear();"

That's what most people used JavaScript for before AJAX...

They just forgot to re-write after Jan 1, 2014.

I can log in, but I'm getting a 503 with the following: "Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."

Just updated to a 'Twitter is currently down for maintenance' message encouraging users to look at the status page.

Twitter Status page has been updated:

"Service issue - Most users are experiencing issues accessing Twitter on web and mobile apps. We’re looking into it."

Back up, and they sent out a message on status.twitter.com:

Update [12:12pm PDT]: During a planned deploy in one of our core services, we experienced unexpected complications that made Twitter unavailable for many users starting at 11:01am. We rolled back the change as soon as we identified the issue and began a controlled recovery to ensure stability of other parts of the service. The site was fully recovered by 11:47am PDT. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Twitter is indeed down. No message on http://status.twitter.com though.

[gioi]

http://status.twitter.com is kinda down here (Italy).

[erichurkman]

I find it slightly amusing that their status message that was just posted has a "Tweet" button on it.

Gah. I'd just posted a really good reply to three people, then had a followup when it died. The essence of comedy is timing.

[aalpbalkan]

I'm getting:

Twitter is currently down for maintenance. We expect to be back shortly. For more information, check out Twitter Status. Thanks for your patience!

This is too bad. It comes if you refresh enough. But in the middle of the day, why would they do maintenance? Sorry Raffi, you failed this time.

Wisconsin here and also see twitter is down. Stuck in a two hour corporate meeting. #terribletiming

There will be a lot of graphs that don't look great around the operations team. I wonder how much of an impact each minute that the service is down has on their uptime %.

[Xylakant]

> I wonder how much of an impact each minute that the service is down has on their uptime %.

Well, that's simple math: A year has roughly 525600 minutes, that makes one minute about 0.000190258752 % of the potential uptime.

Monthly, weekly, daily uptime calculations are left as an exercise to the reader, as well as proper calculations for leap years.

[gtirloni]

Depends if you like red.

All Location Down!

I can't tweet about twitter being down!?

Next best thing, post to HN.

Down in London, UK.

[The_Shrike]

Their API doesn't appear to be working, either.

[shamsulbuddy]

not just twitter , you can check any website from the app "Is Website Down" for Android .. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowendapp....

"Something is technically wrong."

Maybe: Technically, something is wrong.

Or: Something is wrong with our technology.

[afandian]

I think it was a joke.

[julespitt]

Yup, logged out, and "Something is technically wrong" if I try to log back in.

[agumonkey]

And I thought I got a late 'free password reset' .. I am disappoint.

[seleucia]

Same in Turkey also. Can people write their country also with twitter status?
