Twitter Is So 10 Minutes Ago [Updated]

Twitter Is So 10 Minutes Ago [Updated]

Twitter is a mix of fail whale “over capacity” messages and significantly delayed timelines this morning, with the microblogging service experiencing a host of technical issues that are frustrating users.

The timeline has been creeping further and further behind over the last hour or so –- as of 11:45 EST, the most recent tweets we’re seeing are from 11 minutes ago.

This isn’t an unprecedented problem at Twitter, and usually the timeline can be brought back up to speed fairly quickly (Update: Twitter now says they're working on the issue).

We’ll update here when we know more. Meanwhile, let us know “What’s Happening?” in the comments!

Update [2:50PT]: After resolving site issues earlier this afternoon, problems have resurfaced on Twitter, with timeline delays and fail whales galore. Twitter says "We’re experiencing a recurrence of this morning’s networking issue. We’re investigating."
