Twitter & Facebook Down

August 6, 2009

I just heard on the radio (WRVA) that Twitter is down - they are experiencing a denial of service attack.

There may be something going on with Facebook as well. I haven't been able to login to the site. I keep getting this error message:

Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/composer/attachment.php': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet.

1:45 p.m.

Facebook joined Twitter earlier today, apparently suffering from a denial of service attack. Connections at this time seem to be tenuous. All I have been able to do is get to the login window, after that nothing. Hopefully they will be able to get this issue resolved soon. With so many businesses now utilizing both Twitter and Facebook to promote themselves, this has got to be hurting.
