Twitter appeared to have a service disruption on Thursday morning, as some people reported that the social network was down or not loading some features. The phrase "Did Twitter" began trending as the social network returned, with people asking if anyone else had been hit by the outage.
Problems with Twitter began around 6:43 a.m. PT, according to outage monitoring site Down Detector. Many of the outage reports appeared to come from the US and Japan, as well as parts of Europe and Australia. Reports of problems dropped off about an hour later around 7:28 a.m. PT.
Twitter's support team acknowledged the problem at 7:52 a.m. PT and said the issue should now be fixed.
"Let's see if this works... You may have had trouble sending and seeing Tweets. (Yeah, us too.) We've now fixed this," tweeted the Twitter Support account.
