Twitter suffered a brief global outage on Friday night. During the downtime, the microblogging tech platform was unable for thousands of users, as reported by outage tracking website DownDetector. Both the Twitter app and the website were affected by the outage.
Twitter was quick to fix the issue and said that the outage was due to technical issues. “We’ve fixed a technical bug that was preventing timelines from loading and Tweets from posting. Things should be back to normal now. Sorry for the interruption,” the microblogging site said in an official statement.
