If you are reading this, it is probably the result of you panicking and then Google’ing. Yes, Twitter is indeed down. Following a mass of other outages from large companies Twitter is following the trend. We are not sure how long it will be down for, but any amount of time could seriously hurt the site. We’ll keep you updated.

EDIT: I am hearing reports this may be due to the ‘Occupy’ demonstrations currently taking place, possibly the site has been taken down intentionally to stop protest organisation, or taken down by an external force in protest.
