Their API is down too - started slowing down at 2016-11-07T05:44:52Z and went offline in earnest at 2016-11-07T05:47:37Z.

As you can imagine - we have a lot of analytics on this sort of stuff at Zapier. :-) Usually we know about API outages before any official status pages update (besides our own https://status.zapier.com/#app-status). Ironically Twitter's status page is also down... https://dev.twitter.com/overview/status (or maybe that is just their status API? hard to tell).

It is pretty rare for Twitter to go down - even for a moment.

Update - at 2016-11-07T06:12:55Z we're seeing some HTTP 200s...

We'll all have to go back to .plan files.

Doesn't look like a DNS issue this time. Something specific to Twitter specifically?

Indeed the DNS seems alright. I am seeing broken routes to their load balancers from all of my testing sites (on opposite sides of the globe).

A bit suspicious right before the US election, maybe it's under attack.

We'll find out soon enough.

It is kind of weird but this site supposed to be their status page, right? Or this might be scam. Could somebody verify?

Their own status site is showing wrong info: status.twitter.com

Don't even know what to say anymore.

status.twitter.com redirects to https://status.twitterstat.us/ which presumably is their official status page. Which, by the way, reports that all systems are operational.
