The Fail Whale Returns: Twitter Went Down Across Many Regions Today
- 8 years ago
Twitter is having a tricky Tuesday.
Today, the social media site experienced an outage for at least an hour, covering a number of — but not all — regions.
Workers in affected regions sitting down to a little procrastination at their desks with cups of coffee had to stick to Facebook and Instagram.
More seriously, technical issues are never good, but for a service that trades on providing a real-time stream of information, they hit at the very core of the product.
It will be interesting too to see if today’s outage affects Twitter in the public markets.
The company’s share price is currently under $18, near its 52-week low, as it edges towards its quarterly earnings report on February 10.
