People who want to flip through Twitter this evening are going to be met with a whole lot of frustration, thanks to an unknown problem preventing users from logging into the social networking service. Users who try to log into mobile apps that use Twitter or the company’s web interface will be met with an error message, and won’t be able to get access to their account.
There have been widespread reports of the Twitter app for Android failing to work, along with third-party clients. In addition, TweetDeck users have been reporting that all their tweets show as 365 days old.
