Do we have anyone on here that has the ability/insight/connection to know if twitter is having issues in any particular area?

 

I have spent far to long this afternoon trying to verify twitter accounts viz txt 3 different phones different accounts email address etc

 

It seems almost every time you login to twitter they want to verify you and send a txt driving me nuts.

 

so anyone know any problems they may be having?

I only get asked for the SMS verification on my accounts with crap passwords, so I assume they're doing that since there is a good chance its compromised.
