One of the most popular online news and social networking service ‘Twitter’ appears to be down as several users, including Gadgets 360 staff, are facing issues posting tweets on the social network. The issues that are distressing the Web interface, mobile website, TweetDeck, as well as the Android and iOS apps. Third party apps like TweetBot also emerge to be affected.

The messages that are appearing when users trying to post a tweet on the website or apps are "Internet server error" to "Sorry, We did something wrong" and "Tweet not sent. We're sorry, we weren't able to send your Tweet. Would you like to retry or save this Tweet in drafts?"

And, those who are trying a variety of tabs of the Web interface also report being greeted by an error message, as seen above – "Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."
