Twitter servers groaning under the load…

Added to my little collection of screenshots from the big players  having capacity-related outages it looks like Twitter’s servers are groaning tonight. Is this something to do with  the #twitpocalypse ? The twitpocalypse was the hashtag for a semi-outage where twitter was showing everyone as having zero followers and following zero, which in turn was presumably related to them carrying out updates to fix a bug that allowed anyone to “make” someone follow them by tweeting anything followed by “accept username”.
