Update: 11:26am EST – Twitter says site is back up but they’re still defending against the DoS attack. I personally can’t access Twitter.com, can you? Leave a comment.
Twitter went down this morning and it’s not the usual fail whale situation. Instead, Twitter issued a statement on status.Twitter.com that they’re defending against a Denial of Service (DoS) Attack.

Twitter went down around 10am EST.
