Twitter has blamed a "cascading bug" for rendering the social networking site inaccessible on Thursday.
Users from around the world reported difficulties logging on to the site after problems started at about 17:00 BST.
The service was affected for around two hours while engineers sought to solve the issue.
In a blog post, Twitter dismissed reports it had been hacked, and offered "sincere apologies" to its users.
