Now how am I supposed to tell people that Twitter is down!?

It's sad, but my immediate instinct when I couldn't post a tweet was to try searching for other people having problems with Twitter - on Twitter.

Same. It gives credence to Jack Dorsey's claim of Twitter "holding the public conversation".

Not only is the website down, but it seems the entire API is as well.

Yep - stalling out big time. Good chance to test your error handling in a real world scenario!

I hope they write up a post-mortem on the fallout (hopefully it won't be a post-mortem of Twitter). Those things are always extremely interesting with big infrastructure like this.
