With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.

It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.

It's been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.

That could explain the limits today and changing APIs, blocking Nitter and users not logged in...

They turned off non logged in people, to save resources and it caused the opposite effect, too bad they fired all those developers.
