Twitter Hit by Denial-of-Service Attack

Twitter is being “attacked” today in what is called a “denial-of-service attack.” The site went down for some time in the morning, but is back up now. Unfortunately, they are still experiencing issues with their API, which is making it temporarily impossible to use many of Screenjelly’s features.

You can currently view recordings and get video URLs and embed codes, but you cannot upload recordings or tweet or email them.

We’ll update you as soon as things are fully functional again.

Update (8/7/09 at 2:30pm): Screenjelly is back up and running as normal! Twitter was still under attack this morning (see their update), but they seem to be on their way to a full recovery.

We managed to tweak the way our service interacts with Twitter, so Screenjelly should be fully functional now! We’re still keeping an eye on the system to make sure everything is working smoothly on our side. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
