A few complaints are still being raised about lagging and slow loading of tweets.
About 35 minutes later, Twitter said it had fixed the problems.
“We made an internal systems change that didn’t go as planned and have rolled it back,” @TwitterSupport tweeted.
“Twitter should now be loading as expected. Sorry about that!”
Twitter may not be loading for some of you –– we're working on a fix to get you back to your timelines ASAP.
