[Via: some suggestion are from Techcrunch]In terms of attacks, intrusion, hacks or fail whale, Twitter has been doing quite well since the last attack by the Iranian Cyber-Army, but that is not something to be proud of either.When will the service be up again ? Ben Parr from Mashable, reported on this situation perfectly, he said "It’s late pacific time, meaning most of the Twitter team is probably asleep and a response to the situation will be delayed.So in the meantime, I suggest you follow these alternatives, as it will make your life easier. And also remember to share this post to those lost Tweeples out there, who don't know what to do.UPDATE: Twitter released an official statement on why Twitter was downWe are experiencing an outage due to an extremely high number of whales. Our on-call team is working on a fix. We are recovering from this incident. A sudden failure coupled with problems in switching to a backup system produced a high number of errors for around 90 minutes. This made the site largely inaccessible. No data was lost or compromised during this outage.
