So it would appear Twitter is down. I have not been able to access twitter at all, after a quick Google search it would appear I am not alone. It would appear most users are not able to access the site however some are but those lucky enough to be able to access the site are experiencing slow loading times. The site Twitter Status  says “currently experiencing elevated error rates” Twitter better get fixing this pronto.
