The social networking site Twitter and its TweetDeck platform have been disrupted and have cut service to thousands of users worldwide.
"You may have a problem sending tweets, receiving notifications or seeing live messages," Twitter said in a tweet carried by Reuters on Tuesday.
OutageDotReport, the website that monitors crash reports, has received more than 4,000 holiday reports from countries around the world, including Japan, Canada and India.
A Twitter representative had previously reported that the company was looking into problems related to the Tweet deck used by journalists and other content producers to monitor tweets from several Twitter accounts.
