For about 5 minutes, from 13:36-13:41, users experienced issues viewing timelines on twitter.com. The issue also affected the ability to get new Tweets on mobile clients. This was due to a code-related error, which was quickly rolled back. We apologize for the inconvenience.

At 20:49 UTC, our DNS registrar experienced an issue in which it appears DNS records for various organizations were modified, including one of Twitter’s domains used for image serving, twimg.com. Viewing of images and photos was sporadically impacted. By 22:29 UTC, the original domain record for twimg.com was restored. No Twitter user information was affected by this incident.
[UPDATE, 8/28/13: Post updated to reflect that the issue was with our DNS registrar, not our DNS provider.]
Update: As of 14:19 PDT, this issues has been resolved.

We are temporarily turning off API v1 later today, Wednesday, March 20th, for one hour — approximately 3-4 pm PDT (10-11 pm GMT). **Only third-party applications that have not yet transitioned over to API v1.1, the new version of the API, will be affected.** If you’re using one of those apps during this one-hour window, you’ll experience a service disruption. Thank you for your patience during this test.
This blackout test is one of several that will take place in the weeks leading up to retiring API v1. We’re doing this to help developers understand the impact that retirement will have on their applications and services. This post has more information; you can also follow @twitterapi for updates.

Instagram has disabled photo integration with Twitter. As a result, photos are no longer appearing in Tweets or user photo galleries.
While tweeting links to Instagram photos is still possible, you can no longer view the photos on Twitter, as was previously the case.
_______
Users are experiencing issues with viewing Instagram photos on Twitter. Issues include cropped images. This is due to Instagram disabling its Twitter cards integration, and as a result, photos are being displayed using a pre-cards experience. So, when users click on Tweets with an Instagram link, photos appear cropped.

We’re committed to keeping Twitter a safe and open community. As part of that commitment, in instances when we believe an account may have been compromised, we reset the password and send an email letting the account owner know this has happened along with information about creating a new password. This is a routine part of our processes to protect our users.
In this case, we unintentionally reset passwords of a larger number of accounts, beyond those that we believed to have been compromised. We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
As always, we recommend that people review these tips on how to keep their Twitter accounts secure: https://support.twitter.com/articles/76036-keeping-your-account-secure#

Update: This issue has been resolved.
We’ve identified an issue with autocompleted mentions on Twitter for iPhone and iPad versions 5.0 and 5.0.1 running on iOS 6. When you compose a tweet with an autocompleted mention at the end of the tweet, the correct username is not included when the tweet is sent. For example: if you type ‘@e’ and you select ‘@elephant’ from the autocomplete suggestions list, the tweet composer will show ‘@elephant’, but the delivered tweet will show as ‘@e.’ Since this only occurs when the @username is at the end of the tweet, you can work around this issue by adding additional text after the @username. We are working to fix this issue as soon as possible. Our apologies for the inconvenience, including to users who are receiving unintended mentions due to this bug.
Update: Twitter for iPhone and iPad update is now available to address issue with autocomplete mentions in iOS 6. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/twitter/id333903271
