Twitter timelines go blank for users early Monday

Twitter users worldwide were left clueless early Monday when their timelines on the micro-blogging site suddenly went blank for a brief period, media reports said. At around 10 a.m., Twitter reportedly went down for a few minutes when timelines -- which display Twitter updates -- of many users "disappeared" across the world.

Some users even started using the #TwitterDown hashtag to report the technical problem.
