Twitter suffered a series of major outages today, with the social network acknlowledging the problem on a number of public forums — including on Twitter itself.
Some users are currently experiencing problems accessing Twitter. We are aware of the issue and are working towards a resolution.

Twitter logged the issues at 00:43 PT, though according to DownDetector problems first started occuring around 00:27 PT. According to DownDetector's live outage map, the problem seems largely contained to Europe, though that is a huge market for Twitter.

Many who reported problems initially quickly regained access to the service, only for Twitter to suffer further outages shortly after. The problem seems to be affecting Twitter.com and the mobile apps, though TweetDeck hasn't worked with full functionality either.
Though much of Twitter's core features seem to now be working again, there are still issues across the board, including the search function, according to Twitter's own API Status tool. At more than two hours at the time of writing, this certainly represents one of the longer outages for the social network.
VentureBeat has reached out to Twitter and will update here when we receive an explanation for the continuing problems.
