Twitter is suffering a worldwide outage early Tuesday, with access in Europe looking to be the hardest hit. The downtime began at around 8:20 a.m. London time, with no or only sporadic access available via the Twitter website, mobile apps or third-party software such as TweetDeck. Instead, visitors saw an error page on the Twitter site saying, “Something is technically wrong.” A Twitter outage map on the Downdetector.uk site showed the problems were focused in the U.K. and Europe, though Japan and U.S. East Coast were also having problems. “Some users are currently experiencing problems accessing Twitter. We are aware of the issue and are working towards a resolution,” the company said in a post to its status Tumblr. But the issue seems to be worsening, as a Twitter status page for software developers was displaying “service disruption” on four of its services at around 9:20 a.m., after earlier only showing two of the services hit.
