NEW YORK: The microblogging site Twitter Inc. was out of commission early Sunday for the roughly 100 million users around the world.


Instead of the usual screen that allows people to send a tweet, the home page indicated the site was down for "planned maintenance" but was expected to be back in a few hours.


It was accompanied by a cartoon.


According to a status website run by the San Francisco-based company, Twitter's hosting provider, NTT America, was to start the maintenance at 2 a.m. EDT Sunday and it was to last about five hours. The message said some users wouldn't be able to use the site for at least part of that time.


In a post on that website earlier Saturday, Twitter said it was trying to remedy what it called "an elevated rate of errors."
