New Delhi: Services on the microblogging site went down for many users across the globe as thousands of them reported problems viewing and sending tweets on the social network site. Because of the outage, many users were not able to tweet, check timelines and others could not log in or use the app.
The outage is happening since morning and an error message keeps coming on Twitter saying, “Something went wrong. Try again.” In the Twitter app, an error message said, “Tweets aren’t loading right now.”
Tweets may not be loading for some of you. We’re working on fixing a problem and you’ll be back on the timeline soon.

However, Twitter’s support team said in a message that it is working to fix the issue. “Tweets may not be loading for some of you. We’re working on fixing a problem and you’ll be back on the timeline soon.”
In the meantime, many users expressed their resentment over the outage once the services were restores for some time.
