The Good Feed Blog editors share news of Twitter’s outage.

Jamie Reidy “totally tried” to Tweet about this.

CNN’s Julianne Pepitone reports:

The Twitter outage began at 11:59 a.m. ET, according to Twitter’s page on tracking site Pingdom. Service returned intermittently around 1 p.m., but less than an hour later, Twitter crashed again.

#Fail

Twitter updated its status blog at 1:42 saying “the issue has been resolved and all services are currently operational” — but at 2:16, another update from Twitter backtracked and said “the issue is on-going.”

hour later, Twitter seemed to be working for most users. Shortly after 3 p.m. ET, Twitter’s PR account tweeted that the issue was caused by “a cascaded bug in one of our infrastructure components.”

Who was to blame?

A hacker group, UGNazi, claimed to several media outlets that it had taken Twitter down in a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
