Twitter is experiencing an outage that has knocked out the service on websites and phones. The disruption appears to extend beyond the U.S. to at least parts of Europe and Japan.
It wasn't immediately clear what has caused the outage.
"We are currently investigating issues people are having accessing Twitter and we'll keep you updated on what's happening via our status page," a company spokesperson emailed in a statement.
The Down Detector outage reporting site says the outage began at 2:46PM ET time; the number of reports at the site has exceeded 150,000.
Global Twitter outage knocks down social media heavyweight
Hard to function right now without twitter. I didn't realize how important the social networking site was until it was down. I am having withdrawals.
