What is the current status of Twitter?

Twitter is great but it is also frequently down- whether from international hackers or just growing pains.

From here you can see the current uptime status of Twitter. It shows the status in two ways: a percent of uptime and a color ranging from red (down) to yellow to green (running well). This widget updates every five minutes.

This data comes from the functioning of FeedTwit, a twitter app that can send Twitter @ replies as SMS.
