The two biggest sites for updating your status - <a href="http://www.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> - are both experiencing issues this morning. Twitter's outage started around 9 AM EST today and while Facebook is up (somewhat), posting updates and wall comments is currently very flaky. And you can't even go vent about how this makes you feel over on your <a href="http://livejournal.com/" target="_blank">LiveJournal</a> blog because - guess what? - it's down too.   Update: Twitter says they're fighting off a DDOS attack right now but the site is back up.                  According to the <a href="http://status.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter status blog</a>, a posting around 10 AM EST simply reads: "Site is down. We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly." However, <a href="http://search.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter Search</a> appears to be functional and is somehow pulling in recent tweets, so obviously Twitter has not completely "<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_story_of_the_fail_whale.php" target="_blank">failwhaled</a>" for everyone.   To make matters worse, Facebook is also experiencing issues this morning as many rebuffed Twitter users are now finding out when they go to post their status on the social networking site instead. The Facebook outage appears to be intermittent, though, and isn't affecting everyone. If you notice anything at all, it may be only that posting status updates and comments display an error message. But simply clicking the post button again may be able to force them through (at least that was my experience.) The site also loads slowly at times and is displaying occasional "transport" errors.</blockquote>
