iStock Editorial(NEW YORK) — No, it wasn’t just your computer or smartphone that was unable to get Twitter up and running earlier. The popular social network went down Tuesday at 2:24 p.m. ET.
A Twitter spokeswoman said at the time that the company was looking into the service outage.
It wasn’t long until the site and its various platforms were back up and running. The company released this statement following the repair:
“During a planned deploy in one of our core services, we experienced unexpected complications that made Twitter unavailable for many users starting at 11:01am. We rolled back the change as soon as we identified the issue and began a controlled recovery to ensure stability of other parts of the service. The site was fully recovered by 11:47am PDT. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
