As if five earthquakes in the past week weren’t enough to prepare the end of the world, now Twitter is down! We can call this the sixth earthquake because the world is now under shock after Twitter went down due to the thousands of tweets about Haiti’s Wednesday earthquake. Twitter has been down for more than a hour, and status.twitter.com says that they are experiencing an outage due to a big number of whales and that they’re working on a fix.

I remind you that last week a devastating earthquake shook Haiti, and then Venezuela, Guatemala, and the Cayman Islands were struck by earthquakes. Earlier this morning another earthquake took place in Haiti, and thousands of users rushed to tweet about it. Now you can see Twitter down as a result. Hopefully, Twitter will be back up in no time and we’ll find out more about what’s happening in Haiti.

Anyway, the fail whale is still there meaning that Twitter is over capacity. Let us know if Twitter works for you!

Update: Twitter is back up! More info here.
