Twitter is down on mobile and web

Have tried in vain to access the Twitter service over the mobile app and web in vain.Seems Twitter is unavailable for users worldwide but since 9am Central European Time, the micro blogging site is definitely suffering a total outage and difficult access problems lasting until the time of posting this post. I visited the Twitter’s status board updated at 11am Central European Time and it was official the outage was global. Twitter’s developer-facing monitoring confirmed that four of the five public APIs were down, suffering a “service disruption”. At 10:47, the search API was upgraded to “performance issues”. By 10:55am, a second API was upgraded to “performance issues”, and some users were able to sporadically access the service.
