Online TV Channels Watchlist

A question whether Twitter.com is down is flooding the internet. The social networking site is currently inaccessible to most users. It is impossible to access through proxies as well:

"Yikes! We need you to wait for a bit before trying to login again. To control abuse, we limit the number of attempted logins per hour." Tells me to try again in 60 minutes. I guess thats from trying to access through several desktop and iPhone apps. - a user comment from http://getsatisfaction.com/
There are no announcements yet from the development team whether the system is down or not. Users can however check for some outage error message when something is wrong with Twitter.

When Twitter experiences an outage, users see the "fail whale" error message image created by Yiying Lu, an illustration of red birds using nets to hoist a whale from the ocean along with the text "Too many tweets! Please wait a moment and try again."
Lucky for me (from the Philippines) and some friends from Mexico: Twitter is working just fine!

UPDATE:
Minutes ago, Twitter updated its Status Blog to acknowledge the problem:
Responding to network connectivity problems
We are currently investigating a problem whereby some Twitter (Twitter) clients in widely scattered network locations are unable to connect to twitter.com.

Twitter apps are affected by the downtime, but this is not universal. We’ll update when we have more information.
