Twitter Returns: Timeline Delay Resolved, Twitter 'Unfrozen'

UPDATE: Twitter seems to have unfrozen, and feeds are updating more regularly than before. Twitter has not yet confirmed that the problem has been completely resolved, although the feeds are less static than they were earlier.

The most recent update from Twitter:

Update (10:50a): Timelines remain stale for users. We are deploying fixes to address the problem.

Noticed something wrong with Twitter? You're not alone.

Twitter users pointed out that their Twitter updates were "frozen in time" and that their feeds were not been refreshing with new posts.

It's not that no one has been Tweeting.
Twitter explained that there were been timeline delays with Tweets:

We are currently investigating a problem causing many users' timelines to be delayed. We will update with status here shortly.

You can check on the status of the problem on Twitter's website here, as well as by following the live Twitter feed below for real-time updates.

The "freeze" was a Trending Topic on Twitter ("Twitter Is Frozen"), as the site erupted with users' queries about the timeline delay.

Is twitter's 15 minutes up already?

I used the telephone today! I used the cellular phone today! I used the interwebs today! I used the emails today! Geesh, already!

Silence is new twittering. Pass it on. Talk to the stranger standing next to you. It's more fun.

You are showing that you don't actually use Twitter...

[bzb]

Perhaps to many GOP twitting about themselves­...

[beckpod1]

It's just like anything..­.it's not Twitter...­it's the Twitter'ers
It's a great service when used right....

[CRMurray]

Exactly!

Damn! Homeland Security should be more efficient. Just pull the plug on the constitution and get out. Bunglers, you don't want people to suspect do you?

[proudloudlib]

Shocking to me that there is so much venom toward Twitter, all coming from people who do not even use it! Anyone who is only reading what someone had for lunch is following the wrong people. I have discovered some truly amazing people out there by following progressives like Melissa Harris Lacewell, and awesome poetry by speaksbeliefs.com. It is like being in the room with really smart, funny people who are having very intelligent conversations.

The reason we have angst about Twitter is that the media can't stop TALKING about Twitter. Use it, fine. Just don't talk our ears off about how cool you are for using it. It's getting to be like adults using the word "radical" in the 80's. People are talking about their "twitters" and "facebooks" just so they can seem more with it, not because they are necessarily useful tools.

[CRMurray]

So you don't like Twitter because the media, not the users, keeps talking about it? You can see right through those that have to constantly mention that they use something. They think that they are a unique snowflake because of something irrelevant. That's been my experience with users of Apple products, and those that do so with social networking sites are no better.

[progressivelady]

Wasn't life simpler with out tweets?

[Kopie]

I guess tweets fly south for winter.

[G-guy]

Twitter, and 24/7 news . Entirely too much information.

Here's my take on a moment with a "tweeter" in action....­...

"Have a Doctor's appointment at 2:00".
"down here scuba diving at this moment, my oxygen just ran out,
and OMG, look at this, I'm LATE"!!!!

[Cryostatic]

Damn.

[MarsAmbassador]

BURN IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
