Some idiot moderator is censoring Twitter is down stories from the front page. Probably the biggest tech story of the morning.
I agree. I think it's fine when it's less than 30 minutes, but this is a significant bit of downtime.
...and considering the epic failure message.
I thought it was interesting that it was down in a way that I was receiving raw ERB.

(At least, I think it's erb; twitter still uses rails for the front-end, I think.)

Yeah, and with a pretty epic error message: http://cl.ly/image/0e423k050x1T
Their API is also down... maybe a cascading effect (probably from API to frontend, but maybe a lower level failure)?
How much you wanna bet it has something to do with Mountain Lion?
