Twitter down - here's why social media site isn't loading

For those of you who haven't already noticed, social media site Twitter is down, worldwide, due to a 'technical' problem.

If you click onto www.twitter.com, or go in via the app, you'll see a message which reads: "something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing - we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon."

Twitter Inc is said to be investigating the issue, with its platform being inaccessible for users. Users have experienced problems across mobile sites, apps and via desktop, while DownDetector reports that people started reporting issues at 7.46pm, with 67% coming from desktop.

The problem is affecting users in Glasgow too - including Glasgow Live - so if our Tweets have disappeared, you'll know just why!

Just last week, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were disrupted meaning you couldn't see any pictures across each of the social networking sites.

Twitter has yet to comment on the issue, which is being experienced across the globe, according to reports.

For more breaking news and all that's going on in your city, head to the Glasgow Live homepage - or you can check us out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
