This is a screenshot of what Twitter looked like at around 1AM Eastern Standard Time.

(Sorry for the duplicate post, but I realized it's better to link to the screenshot of Twitter than Twitter itself, which is down at the moment.)

The lack of respect for modern web standards and accessibility here is shocking. No alt tags? All in-line styles with no CSS? And no XHTML?

Shame on them.

Who knows who it really is. Could be some random kiddies in Des Moines.
