For the last few hours, Twitter has been working intermittently.
At the moment, when a user tries to load the site on their browser, they receive the following message: "Something is technically wrong."
The DownDetector website has reported a sharp spike in the number of problems with the site around 3 p.m. UK time. The problems were visible across the world, with particular hotspots in the UK, the US and Japan.
The reason for the incident is unknown, but people from all over of the world, continue to post about technical bugs. Users, when they have been able to post their tweets, have voiced their concerns, complaints and even theories of why the platform has stopped working.
now if twitter is down how will we tweet about it?
