Many Twitter users are reporting that tweets — both their own and those they saw posted by other people — have been vanishing into thin air.
We're not sure what happened, but our Bearitone giveaway tweet disappeared. We'll put it up again in a few minutes! #TwitterGlitch

Once again, I am experiencing tweet decay. Tweets posted, even re-tweeted, seem to have vanished. Is that happening to others?

Anybody else had a problem with tweets disappearing from timelines? I did a second tweet and then the original appeared again. Strange
