NEW DELHI: Several users across the globe got 'This page is down" error messages when micro-blogging platform Twitter faced a mega outage on Thursday evening.
Outage monitoring website Downdetector says 65 per cent were unable to log into the Twitter website, while 34 per cent have problems with the app. Many users have encountered "over capacity" error messages across Twitter web, mobile, and the TweetDeck app.
"Twitter went down for a few minutes and you almost have a heart attack cos no matter you try to deny it, you love this app," posted an affected user.
"When Twitter is down, where do you even complain about it being down," posted another.
According to some users, the service was resuming back to normal, according to IANS.
In March, Twitter users in India experienced difficulties accessing the platform on desktops as an outage was reported in Japan, India, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Most users reported being unable to access Twitter on desktops (85 per cent) and 8 per cent on Android devices. Twitter suffered two mega-outages in February when users were unable to post tweets for several minutes.
