Twitter is Down

Yup, Twitter is down. I can't recall the last time I've seen an outage like this. Although it was very frequent back in 2008 – 2010, it has been extremely stable the past couple years.

While Twitter's not 100% down, it's mostly down. It's been having fits and starts all afternoon. I guess that's like being mostly-dead, which is slightly-alive. It really depends how you're accessing Twitter (web, client, api, etc) and from where.

The interesting part is how fragmented the Twitter conversations became as others quickly stepped into to fill the Twitter void.
