The Twitter outage persists
Monday, April 21, 2008 by Dave Winer.
Monday morning, the outage that started Friday night, is still going on. 
As a test, I posted a picture last night before signing off, only 62 reads, which is very low for a link that should have gone to over 8000 people. (Admittedly it was Sunday night in the Calif, but Twitter is a world wide thing, and it's already 7:30AM on the east coast of the United States.)
Also, still no notice of the outage and what they're doing to clear it on the Twitter blog.
PS: Amazon CTO Werner Vogels checks in on the Twitter outage.
