Twitter: suffers technical glitch for close to two hours

Twitter Inc explained Thursday why users of its social networking site experienced a glitch in many parts of the world.

It attributed the glitch to an inadvertent change it had made to its internal systems.

Many users could not send tweets, while the glitch lasted.

However, the platform returned to normal after about an hour and half of outage.

The company said that the site should be working for everyone within the next few hours and that it did not have any evidence of a security breach or a hack.
