Quick Take

  • Twitter appeared to be unavailable to some users on Thursday. 
  • Users in the US and Europe were presented with the message “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”

Twitter, the social network of choice for crypto traders, appeared to be unavailable to some users for about half an hour on Thursday. 

Reporters for The Block were unable to refresh their Twitter feeds from several locations in the US and Europe, with users presented with the message "Something went wrong. Try reloading." Reporters in India, however, said the service seemed normal. 

Normal service appeared to have resumed as of 8:40 a.m. ET.
