Twitter fixes issue with 'broken' tweets not sending
Twitter wasn't working properly on Friday afternoon for thousands of users from New York to Los Angeles to London.
Twitter confirmed that "Tweeting is broken" and that the company was working to fix the issue.Â
Then, after the problem was solved, the company sent out two tweets: "test" and "ok it worked" making humor out of the situation.Â

Twitter said in an earlier tweet that users "might be experiencing trouble sending new Tweets."Â

Thousands of users reported problems with the app and website on Friday afternoon, according to the website Down Detector. The site said that over 8,000 users were reporting issues on the platform at around 4:00 p.m. EST.
While some users reported their Twitter timelines were functioning properly, tweets were not sending.
Most of the issues reported were on the East and West coasts of the United States, as well as in London.Â
