No Tweets For You!
***UPDATE***
From Facebook rep: “Earlier this morning, Facebook encountered network issues related to an apparent distributed denial of service attack, that resulted in degraded service for some users. No user data was at risk and we have restored full access to the site for most users. We’re continuing to monitor the situation to ensure that users have the fast and reliable experience they’ve come to expect from Facebook.”

From status.twitter.com:
The site is back up, but we are continuing to defend against and recover from this attack.
(Despite that, as of 12:40PM ET, lots of CNNers are still unable to log on to Twitter or access TweetDeck)

As all you Twitter addicts out there probably know, the service has been down since earlier this morning. Turns out it's not just a technical glitch - somebody's apparently targeting the site.
From status.twitter.com:
We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.
By the way, some Facebook folks are also reporting problems logging on/navigating around. We'll bring you more on all this as it develops.
