Mashable! - Twitter Reverts to Old Interface Amidst Technical Woes

Hours after rolling out a new version of its homepage, Twitter is suddenly taking a trip back to its past.

The microblogging service has disabled the so-called "New Twitter" (though it's not really all that new at this point) and reverted to a simpler time when one had to check their @replies from a text link on the right-hand navigation menu.

In a post on its status blog, Twitter writes, "We've temporarily disabled #NewTwitter. Our engineers are working on re-enabling it and will update you shortly."

Ironically, it was just last week that Twitter co-founder Evan Williams wrote that “the dark days of imminent technical meltdown are over,” in a blog post about his transition to a smaller role at the company, though in reality the service has been much more reliable in recent months.

The old Twitter is also loading in fairly bizarre ways for some of us. Let us know what you� �re experiencing in the comments — we'll update here with more information as we get it.
