Users of popular micro-blogging service Twitter were unable to access the site for almost 30 minutes early Thursday.
A "general site outage" took Twitter down for 27 minutes from just after 3am GMT Thursday (11pm EDT/8pm PDT Wednesday).
Visitors to the site were greeted with the "Fail Whale," an illustration of a whale used by Twitter to signify the site is over capacity, or a message advising a technical fault before access returned at 3:30am GMT.
"We're now recovering from this unplanned downtime," Twitter said in a status message. "We apologize for the interruption in service."
