It’s been a rollercoaster of an afternoon in the Twitter-sphere. Early Thursday afternoon users noticed that the social media site wasn’t functioning properly.

By 1:40 p.m. Eastern time, Twitter had updated that post to say its service had been restored.

At 3:15 p.m., Twitter offered an explanation of the problem: “Today’s outage is due to a cascaded bug in one of our infrastructure components.”
They also promised to provide more details soon, and one can only hope those are in language that’s a little more accessible to those among us who are not tech geeks.
