No More Tweeting: Twitter Goes Down

Twitter users had to keep their tweets to themselves Thursday, after the social network experienced an outage that made the service unavailable for about an hour.

Users began to notice the social network was down around 11:20 A.M. ET and service continued to remain faulty thereafter.

The company stated on its Twitter Status Blog that "Users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter. Our engineers are currently working to resolve the issue."

Twitter experienced an outage last month caused by a "cascaded bug" in the company's systems that kept users from accessing the network.

Google's chat service, Google Talk, also experienced an outage Thursday morning that lasted several hours.
