Twitter down due to enhancement failures

Twitter has just apologized to its users for widespread glitches -from apparently missing tweets to incorrect tweet counts- due to failed enhancements to its timeline caching system. On Twitter's status blog, the company posted on June 14 (June 15 in the Philippines) a series of updates that apologized to users for apparently missing tweets and inconsistent tweet counts. "We're currently experiencing site availability issues resulting from the failed enhancement of a new approach to timeline caching. Our infrastructure and operations engineers are currently working to resolve this," one of the posts said. As of press time, the latest update was posted at 11:51pm PDT (6:51am Philippine time) and said that Twitter is still "recovering from the site outage. Users may temporarily experience missing or duplicate tweets from their timelines. Normal timelines will be restored shortly." - GMANews.TV
