Well, here’s something we haven’t missed.
Twitter’s fail whale put in an appearance for many users this morning, and as of 10:30 a.m. ET, there’s no update on Twitter’s status blog about when that smug little sucker will be harpooned. But it’s not just you.
We're hearing reports that some users are having intermittent connection problems on http://t.co/DJ1zhEMo. We're working on it.

Just in case you can’t view that tweet:
The official word from Twitter’s status blog:
Some users may be experiencing issues accessing Twitter. Our engineers are currently working to resolve the issue.
Some Twitter users are able to tweet intermittently. And yes, many are tweeting about the outage.
Not yet, Univision. But Twitchy will update this post when we have an update from our Twitter overlords.

And we're back! Pardon the interruption. http://t.co/5bEOf4JF
