Twitter appears to be having some problems (on Inauguration Day of all days) huff.to/10jemc8—

No, it’s probably not your Twitter client, or your Internet connection, and Twitter isn’t saying if a slowdown for many users is due to Inauguration Day traffic. Twitter support sent out a message this evening acknowledging only that many users are having problems with the service.
Some users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter. Engineers are working to resolve this problem.—

In the meantime, rumors that Twitter was shutting down for a week for maintenance were inciting panic as well as self-reflection.

Do you hear that, Twitter support? Please hurry.
Update: Not surprisingly, rumors of a Twitter shutdown quickly sent an #IfTwitterShutDownForAWeek hashtag to the top of the trending topics.
