SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – Some Twitter users had to do without early Tuesday after sporadic outages knocked the social media site offline in Europe.
Reports of malfunctions began to appear in the U.S. as well, but it was unclear how widespread the outages were.
Twitter Inc. which has 320 million active users, tweeted that it is aware of the issue and is trying to fix it. The notice was sent at 3:44 a.m. Eastern.
Users said the service was not accessible on desktop computers. Twitter’s blog posts, corporate info and most other pages on the Twitter.com website were also inaccessible, displaying the blue error screen.
There were complaints of users receiving a “server error” just before 8 a.m. Eastern.
