Each time I try to open the Twitter home page in a browser it ends up with the "Connection Interrupted" or "Network Timeout" error.
I spent some time investigating this issue, and found next:
- it is not a problem of DNS, domain resolves to the correct IP
- it's not a problem of my machine (friend of mine has same problem, I also verified that from other computers at home I got the same results)
- I had a chance to test O2 ADSL connection outside of Prague and there it works fine!
- other Twitter pages like Twitter Status, Twitter Blog work fine
- BUT pages Twitter Home or Twitter/boruvek always return the error...WTH?!
I am quite annoyed. So far I found that only way people to complain about Twitter issues is the GetSatisfaction, which I think is a great support tool and idea, but I do not expect anyone to care about a n issue having single vote only (my question).
The workaround I found to solve the twitter "withdrawal" is to use the TwitterGadget (Twitter widget for GMail or iGoogle) (via @janecek).
All other desktop twitter client apps (such as twhirl or similar) are facing same connection-problem as described above.
