Twitter Inc., the fast-growing microblogging service, was inaccessible Thursday morning, struck by a “denial-of-service” attack, the company said on its status blog.
“We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly,” the company said in a blog post shortly before 11 a.m. EDT, Thursday.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
