The company blamed a "cascading bug" for the outage which drove frustrated users to other social media sites to complain.
On Facebook, a member wrote: "Be honest. Did you spend most of Twitter being down desperately trying to tweet about Twitter being down?"
A Tumblr user added: "Twitters broke, my life has no meaning anymore."
Shortly after the site returned, one user tweeted: "OMG..twitter was down....closest thing to living without oxygen for most of us...."
Mazen Rawashdeh, Twitter's vice president of engineering, said: "It’s imperative that we remain available around the world, and today we stumbled. For that we offer our most sincere apologies and hope you’ll be able to breathe easier now."
