UPDATE: 12:32 a.m. ET: Twitter has posted an update to its support account apologizing for the service problems, but still has yet to offer any explanations for the major disruptions, which lasted for hours.

The issue that prevented some users from signing in to Twitter has been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience: http://t.co/7BlGvFMC3e — Twitter Support (@Support) December 29, 2014

UPDATED: 12:10 a.m. ET: Although there has been no official word from the company, if you refresh your TweetDeck page the correct time stamps now appear on current posts. Nevertheless, there are still no updates from Twitter's support account following the first one delivered hours ago, and the company has still not responded to a request for comment as to what happened to its service.

UPDATED: 11:25 p.m. ET: Several hours after Twitter acknowledged its widespread service disruption, some users have begun reporting that Twitter for Android is once again working, although some still report problems using the app on Android. As of this writing, there are still no further updates from Twitter itself.

With only 30 minutes left in the day (ET), it remains to be seen exactly what will happen on TweetDeck when the new day arrives. Currently, all posts are listed as 365 days old, the number of days in a year. So when the clock strikes midnight will the bug somehow fix itself, or will we find ourselves with yet another year added to the tally? The mysterious Twitter drama continues to unfold.

UPDATED: 9:15 p.m. ET: A couple of hours after the first reports from users rolled in, Twitter has finally acknowledged the problem via its official Twitter account.

We're working on resolving issues some users are having signing in on some platforms. Watch this handle & http://t.co/7BlGvFMC3e for updates — Twitter Support (@Support) December 29, 2014

However, the message did not address the issue many users on TweetDeck are still having with the time stamps on their Twitter posts, which lists all posts as one year old.

UPDATED: 8:25 p.m. ET: Other users are now reporting that they are locked out of their Echofon accounts for Twitter. One user made his report from Japan, indicating that Twitter's current service issue may be worldwide.

Echofon has locked me out of my account. Have I been overtweeting?! m__m @echofon — Dan Castellano (@ninja_padrino) December 29, 2014

Thought it was just me...locked out of echofon. Says it's a security issue and I need to log in again. Anyone else? — Dubl!nJo (@Dubl1nJo) December 29, 2014





The world's new year date change is still a few days away, but on Sunday a number of Twitter users began reporting that TweetDeck, which is owned by Twitter, was showing their posts as 365 days old.

The bug appears to affect both direct posts and retweets of other user posts.

There have also been reports from users that the Twitter app on Android is locking users out of their accounts, although other users report no problems on the iOS version of the service.

Either I’m crazy, or the Android @Twitter app has randomly locked me out … and thousands of other people. CC: @Support — Ryan Gorman (@GormoJourno) December 29, 2014

Meanwhile, as more and more users began to notice the time shifting glitch on TweetDeck, some took to Twitter to comment on the odd bug.

Relaunching @TweetDeck reset the 365d thing, but now it is back. — blackfeather tanfur (@blackfeather) December 29, 2014

Why is Tweetdeck saying that all of my tweets are from a year ago? — Paul Trillich (@mr_wrightaway) December 29, 2014

My TweetDeck thinks it 2013. — Alexi Lalas (@AlexiLalas) December 29, 2014

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
