The social networking website Twitter went down Thursday in what appeared to be a global outage, but there’s no evidence of a security breach, the company said. The outage lasted nearly two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problems began at 5:35 p.m. New York time on Thursday when users were unable to send any new tweets. Although the website initially remained accessible, it began showing errors a short time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
