Is Twitter Down? Maybe the BIGGEST question of all time for Twitter (a social networking and microblogging service utilizing instant messaging, SMS or a web interface.), after users have been redirected to a “Problem loading page – Twitter status.”

What is really going on there? Getting into the main page of Twitter (twitter.com) is fast as lighting but when I started logging in, I was redirected to a page saying… “Problem loading page”. Huwatt???

The connection has timed out

The server at twitter.com is taking too long to respond.

• The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
  moments.
• If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network
  connection.
• If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
  that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I thought I was the only one experiencing this error until I learned from the current Google Trends that Twitter is really down. There could be some outage from their servers but hopefully Twitter put back all in place without loosing any accounts or information of any users around the globe.

Twitter is ranked as one of the 50 most popular websites worldwide by Alexa’s web traffic analysis. Everyday, Twitter gets the share of more than 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits including mobile phones users.
