Their API is down too - started slowing down at 2016-11-07T05:44:52Z and went offline in earnest at 2016-11-07T05:47:37Z.
As you can imagine - we have a lot of analytics on this sort of stuff at Zapier. :-) Usually we know about API outages before any official status pages update (besides our own https://status.zapier.com/#app-status). Ironically Twitter's status page is also down... https://dev.twitter.com/overview/status (or maybe that is just their status API? hard to tell).
It is pretty rare for Twitter to go down - even for a moment.
Update - at 2016-11-07T06:12:55Z we're seeing some HTTP 200s...
status.twitter.com redirects to https://status.twitterstat.us/ which presumably is their official status page. Which, by the way, reports that all systems are operational.
I actually made my Twitter available through finger a while back, just for fun. (finger david@gloveraoki.net) Ironically, as it is cached, it still works!
Release a huge pile of emails no one will have time to vet, the day before an election, after millions have already voted. A fiendishly diabolical plan, Mr. Assange!
Private emails... From political parties, public representatives and lobbyists. These are VERY PUBLIC people. IMO, these people should not enjoy having a private life in the first place, because, as the Podesta emails show, they end up using their political career as a way to get more money and power, NOT to serve the People.
It doesn't really seem so, or at least they seem no better or worse than what's been released already.
Trump supporters have been waiting months for the Wikileaks bombshell, October^H^H^H^H^H^H^H, errr.. November surprise, that will destroy Hillary and put her behind bars, implicating her in arms sales, pay for play access to the government, treason and if you follow the crazies, pedophile child trafficking and satanic cults.
Each time, the next batch is going to be the one with the damning information that brings her down, and each batch it's more of the same.
Sure, the contents don't speak well of Hillary, her team, or the media (and I think based on her actions she probably shouldn't be allowed near any sort of classified information again), but these are not the damning bombshells people have been fantasizing about, and those bombshells likely don't exist, because if they did, they would have been released well before millions of people had already voted, and not on the eve of the election.
> if they did, they would have been released well before millions of people had already voted, and not on the eve of the election.
Assange has claimed multiple times, that he thinks these elections are a farce... Perhaps he knows some things you and me don't.
BTW, I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen), but I don't think Clinton is better than him, at least for the rest of the world. Trump talks a lot, but his administration will probably be more or less the continuation of the Bush/Obama policies, particularly the foreign policy...
> I'm not a trump supporter (not even a US citizen)
Me too!
With Hillary I think American foreign policy will definitely be a continuation (she was the person in charge of it for 4 years), and that's not such a good thing for the rest of the world.
At least with Trump there is the possibility that things could change. I also quite like his ideas around addressing corruption in politics, though again as you mentioned, whether or not he'd be able to actually do anything about it if elected is a different matter entirely.
Very possible, a few places are already predicting it.
All the major news stations would love that scenario. Each station gets to broadcast the news they want to say without that pesky little social media providing information that may counter what they are saying.
Yep, i'm no expert, but a BGP looking glass seems to suggest that all of the best paths (chosen by AS pathlength?) are not being advertised to peers... But some routes are being advertised? Idk

edit: sorry about formatting, i've tried to clean it up.
You can ignore things like "Not advertised to any peer" in looking glass output, just a function of a router being used as the looking glass server and not participating in routing.
Looks like their networks are not announced anymore. From 4 providers,
we don't see any network matching 104.244.42.1, 104.244.42.65,
104.244.42.129 or 104.244.42.193 (A records for twitter.com)
Update 2:
show ip bgp 104.244.42.0/24
% Network not in table
No routes present...
Update 3: (3 mins ago)
Networks are back now, but quite some packet loss. Also, Comcast in
norcal goes via Level3 to Twitter in London. They are also announcing
direct to NTT which seems to get served locally. So, they're not quite
out of the woods yet.
I get a 502 for Wikileaks but consensus is there's no BGP announcements for twitter. Possible it's the same attacker but they seem to be two different attacks.
Or.. don't? Maybe post what's happening when it is happening. Especially when it is a freak and unusual occurrence. And if it's not news worthy it will sort itself out an hour later.

That's pretty funny. What use is a status page that's updated that infrequently?
Why would you update it if nothing is happening....
Really, how hard is it to update the date?
Queue hordes of people typing "man finger"...

We'll find out soon enough.

Sure, these are not the end of the world, but... They are documented proof that CNN and Dems colluded.
BTW, did you notice that I also mentioned "DNC" and "Clinton" emails?
Here are the new DNC emails: https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/?q=%40releasedate+%222016-1...
Oh, and they dumped the whole Podesta file: https://file.wikileaks.org/file/podesta-emails/
Check, mate, and match!
They choose not to.
Maybe I could crowd source people to clean up all the spam?
If you did want it public, you could probably set up an ifttt recipe to post them all somewhere?
Oh, alternate idea: set up a thing to forward all the emails to e.g. a tumblr "email to post" address?
Something like that.
Edit: wait I think ifttt calls them "applets" now instead of recipes?

Bit of a BGP blip there. Nothing to worry about. It's not like anyone's been practising attacks on fundamental Internet infrastructure.
Are there any alternatives? It kind of sucks that twitter can just go down and there's really nothing to replace it.
