Description:
Twitter has gone down for loads of users, with the social media giant repeatedly asking you to reload the page.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It feels like every other week that the internet breaks - you've guessed it (from the headline), Twitter is down.

The social media giant is unavailable to loads of users - trying to access
the web page brings up the message "Something went wrong. Try reloading.",
and the app won't refresh with newer tweets.

Reports on downdetector.co.uk jumped up into the thousands within minutes of the outage - it's worth pointing out that, while the reports also rose on downdetector.com (in the US), they didn't rise by nearly as much.

It sounds like a limited issue, as lots of TechRadar team members haven't had an issue. Saying that the sheer number of Downdetector reports shows that something is up.

Not only is the main Twitter feed down, but other Twitter sites are down too, like its Help site .

We just wanted to post a funny joke, and now we've discovered that Twitter isn't working. We're investigating.

Judging by reports from Downdetector and TechRadar's US team, the outage is affecting far fewer people in the US than in the UK - it seems mainly a British problem. Well, we can add that to the list after Freddos costing
more, Magnums getting smaller and the whole cost of living thing.

In the UK, DownDetector reports more than 4,000 reports in the last few minutes. That's a huge number given how many we normally see - even for the major outages that affect multiple websites, we usually see one or two thousand reports.
