TWITTER may have stopped working for thousands of users in a mysterious outage.
Online outage tracker Down Detector is being flooded with reports that the social network isn’t working properly.

Most of the complaints suggest that the website and app aren’t loading.
The issue appears to be hitting UK users, but the US may be unaffected.
Thousands of complaints rushed in at just after 1pm UK time.
But Twitter is still working for some users, so it’s not a mass outage.
We’ve asked Twitter for comment and will update this story with any response.
The majority of complaints are centred on the website.
One Down Detector user wrote: “Twitter website is not loading on my phone, all other sites fine on my phone.”
Another said: “Seems down in the UK for me.”

Twitter is one of the world’s biggest social media sites.
It launched to the public way back in July 2006, and has since become a global cultural phenomenon.
More than 330million people use the app every month.
And the company generated an impressive $3.72billion in revenue last year.
But the app is still eclipsed by the likes of Facebook, which has 2.91billion monthly active users.
