The Switch
Twitter is humming along now after a late night. Our team worked earnestly into the night and morning on our largest and most complex maintenance project ever. Everything went pretty much according to plan except for one thing: an incorrect switch.
The switch in question caps traffic an unacceptable level. In order to correct this, we'll need to get some hardware installed. Unfortunately, that means we're not done with our datacenter move just yet. This type of work can be frustrating but it's all towards Twitter's highest goal: reliability.
Thanks for your patience. As always, if you have questions please write to support, share them on Get Satisfaction, or leave a comment here on the blog.

is m.twitter.com still down? Seems to be for me, but it could be cached or something.
Must Needs Tweet! It's ok... Take your time :-)
BTW what do you guys think about T-Mobile blocking tweets?
Good work! Looks like some long maintenance hours ;)
Hope the other issues for reliability will be fixed too soon :)
One problem left: can't reach the m.twitter.com mobile page since downtime, still get the maintenance page there?
does this mean, you are back to the old data center now?
Great work team :)
I didn't realise how much I missed twitter till it was down for some time :)
Anybody else thing that being able to see http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/ is prollably not a supergood idea?
