Twitter Offline Due To DDoS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hate-when-that-happens dept.

The elusive Precision dropped a submission in my lap about a DDoS taking down Twitter running on CNet. It's been down for several hours, no doubt wreaking havoc on the latest hawtness in social networking. Won't someone please think of the tweeters? Word is that both Facebook & LiveJournal have been having problems this AM as well.

    FUCK YOU, Twitter

    hey isn't it just the twitter website that's down? Apps using the twitter API seem to be doing just fine

    Get right the heck out of town. DDoS is redundant enough; _M_DDoS adds NOTHING of value to the word.
