Full tilt for me. Site and via Android.

Yup, logged out, and "Something is technically wrong" if I try to log back in.
rubiquity
Same here. Can't log in via mobile, desktop or browser.
zvanness
Yup, session errors! Both on mobile and web, multiple IP's.
detay
Same. Looks like it's a global problem.

Twitter is indeed down. No message on http://status.twitter.com though.

I find it slightly amusing that their status message that was just posted has a "Tweet" button on it.

And I thought I got a late 'free password reset' .. I am disappoint.

Same in Turkey also. Can people write their country also with twitter status?

I can log in, but I'm getting a 503 with the following: "Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."

Just updated to a 'Twitter is currently down for maintenance' message encouraging users to look at the status page.

so annoying, what am I paying for if this goes down like this?

oh wait...

You say that sarcastically, but I imagine that many brands, who have advertising campaigns scheduled for one of the more lucrative days of the week, will be less amused.
plg
oh yeah good point!! I totally forgot about "sponsored tweets".
ErikAugust
With a PPC/CPM model Twitter is internalizing all the losses...

Do they have different models?

minimaxir
I'm not necessarily referring to Sponsored Tweets; brands often coordinate word-of-mouth campaigns across all forms of media too, and Twitter's downtime would hurt that too.
ErikAugust
Oh, no doubt. Some API functionality went haywire earlier today too... so anything built on top of Twitter can potentially have issues.

twirssi failing, and re-logging returns "Technical issues" page on Twitter.com
