Twitter Blocked?

[Stubby]

Hi Folks

Does anyone know if twitter is being blocked by Thailand today for any reason? I've not been able to access it all day, although there are no technical issues reported with the site itself.

Thanks in advance

No it's not blocked. Any reason it should be?

Not that I know of Dave. All my other internet connectivity is fine, obviously, but just can't get twitter to load today. I think sometimes ISPs ban stuff, so it's my guess then that anyone using AIS will experience the block, assuming you're not with them?

Thanks happynthailand, that's a useful URL. It reports that twitter is up, but i kind of knew that because i've been getting email notifications all day. So it looks as though the ISP has been given instruction to block it, hopefully as a temporary measure. Who knows, maybe there's been a whisper of another protest by Muslims, or other groups, and so there's an attempt to block this site. Oddly enough though, facebook loads just fine. Most odd
