Twitter Stuck! Is Twitter Down?

No Fail Whale yet, but Twitter is currently stuck. I've gotten zero new tweets in the last two hours. Very annoying. Is Twitter actually down, but still showing content? I have no idea. Meanwhile, how the hell am I supposed to check up on #mileycomeback?! This is simply unacceptable. Okay, maybe it is a fail-whale situation. It looks like we aren't receiving updates in our own feeds, but going to your friends' Twitter pages will show you their recent activity. Like life before the telephone.

Funny thing is, I'm gonna end up tweeting this story, even though it may be ages before you actually see it.

Maybe the Iran regime is attacking again. They seem to be all over, with rotten tweets and trying to discredit supporters of the Opposition, on twitter, facebook, and who knows wherever..

It does seem to be about 15 minutes slow at least.

If you search though you can see new tweets. So the database is getting updated, but for some reason the stream view isn't updating. Also my badge of my recent tweets on my website is updating fine.

It seems Twitter is frozen for the past several hours.

Twitter went down 11:30pm (JST) and is starting to function again, slowly.Twitter needs a bigger jug for the gravy!

me personally am obsessed with twitter and i use twitter nonstop and i was very upset this morning when i woke to find that i could not "tweet" about recent activity twitter wont pull up at all as if the link is broken hopefully soon fellow twitter users will be back online hopefully this is only temporary my guess is that it will be back on tonight

Artful graphics, thanks for posting.

I can understand why some celebrities like Miley Cyrus are dropping off Twitter, if they twitter their every move it simply leaves everyone hot on their trail and that can become overwhelming.. it's only a matter of time before Twitter will be used to misdirect and throw-off an obsessive fan base with an untruthful tweet, if that doesn't already happen every so often.
