Is Twitter down?
Yes, yes it is. Says istwitterdown.com:
In fact, it is “too down” even to display the fail-whale. I’ve not seen that before

Wurde Twitter nicht gehackt?
I’m getting a “no” from istwitterdown.com, both on August 6 and 7, when Twitter seems to be suffering its denial of service attacks. Does it really say “yes” for you?
Ja, Twitter wurde gehackt. Meh.
@kickstand: Yes, it did indeed say “yes” for me. On occasion.
Awesome. I love these sites- http://www.istwitterbroken.com is another one, except they have a robot managing the site to figure out if twitter is down or even “sort of” broken.
Meanwhile, there are even meta-sites, such as: http://isistwitterdowndown.com/ … but that may take it a little far
You can also check the latest status of Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and other web services at downrightnow. We monitor user reports on Twitter and company announcements to automatically detect service trouble. Crowdsourcing often gives more reliable information than a ping test – for example, when a site is responding but shows an error page (like the fail whale).
We post outage alerts on Twitter (@downrightnow) and you can visit us at http://downrightnow.com/ to report an issue or check the latest service status.
