Twitter Is Down. In Other News, Mideast Peace Still Elusive.

Oh look: Twitter is down again. How unusual.

The service has been inaccessible for the better part of the last hour. And according to the Twitter Status blog, the company has “received reports of elevated error rates for users; we’re currently investigating.”

UPDATE: Ah. Evidently this is “unplanned downtime.”

Well, that explains it.

UPDATE: Did I say “unplanned downtime”? I meant, “period of high unavailability.”
