Twitter is Over Capacity Message
Update 11/29/2011 10:05am EST: Twitter seems to be functioning normally again – will update if this changes.
Twitter seems to be having some serious issues this morning.
I keep getting the above message when trying to visit the website. Finally I was able to login but I am still getting the message periodically.
After some quick research, I was unable to find any details about the problem and the Twitter Status Report does not mention the issue.
When trying to refresh the page, I would either see the above “over capacity” page or, when using Google Chrome, I would receive the following “no data received” error:
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Please comment if you are so we can gain an idea of how widespread the issue is.
Also, if you have any additional information about the Twitter capacity issue, please comment below. I will update this post as I find relevant information.

I am just trying to verify a tweet and I'm receiving this message. So they must be having serious issues.
It really gets on my nerve.
I live in Los Angeles and I am getting the same message. I have a couple of friends that live in Sitges, Spain and they are getting the same message.
Looks like this issue is pretty widespread- I'm surprised Twitter hasn't posted anything on the Twitter status page yet!
How long ago did this start for everyone?
Hi, i'm brazilian and getting the same message
In Miami. Same thing here!

I'm in Durban, South Africa and I've been getting the "Twitter is over capacity" page for almost a week now
I'm in Florida and I've been getting the 'fail whale' over capacity message every day for more than a week. Morning, noon and night – always over capacity. If they don't get in front of this, Twitter will be history…
