Twitter is having a tricky Tuesday.<br />Today, the social media site experienced an outage for at least an hour, covering a number of — but not all — regions.<br />Workers in affected regions sitting down to a little procrastination at their desks with cups of coffee had to stick to Facebook and Instagram.<br />More seriously, technical issues are never good, but for a service that trades on providing a real-time stream of information, they hit at the very core of the product.<br />It will be interesting too to see if today’s outage affects Twitter in the public markets.<br />The company’s share price is currently under $18, near its 52-week low, as it edges towards its quarterly earnings report on February 10.
