Twitter: We're Experiencing Site Stability Issues

Egads! Friday the 13th's evil mojo is proving a menace for microblogging loud mouths who feel compelled to tell the world what they just ate for lunch or, unadvisedly, who they just murdered and where they hid the body (we'll stick to using it for posting article links and contest announcements). Casual users probably didn't notice that something's awry, but if you stay connected to Twitter throughout the day, expect intermittent hiccups.

"We are currently experiencing site stability issues," Twitter is telling its users. "There may be intermittent issues loading twitter.com and Twitter clients. We're working to fix it as soon as possible."

And that's all Twitter wrote. It's unknown what's causing all the trouble, though as one online door closes (or gets jammed up every once in awhile), another swings wide open. Google today managed to get its Blogger Buzz site back up and running after scheduled maintenance work turned into an extended dark period because of an unexpected data corruption bug.
