Trying to log into your Twitter account and you're getting the "Something Is Technically Wrong" message? That clumsy robot hasn't just screwed it up for you--Ellen DeGeneres has crashed Twitter with an Oscars mass-celebrity-selfie taken from her tablet in the theater aisle during the show! She was trying to achieve the most-retweeted photo in Twitter history.
According to downrightnow.com, Twitter has been experiencing a "likely service disruption" since shortly after the photo was posted.
You can't see it on Twitter right now, but the celebrity-studded photo features the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, and Ellen herself.

Congratulations on a fun Oscars stunt, Ellen! I just wish I could tweet about it. . . :p
UPDATE: As of 7:32 pm, I can access Twitter, but the service is still experiencing a likely service disruption.
UPDATE: As of 7:37 pm, the photo has been re-tweeted 549,749 times! The previous record holder was Barack Obama, with over 500,000 re-tweets. I'm not clear if the photos of the new royal baby cleared that mark, but I'm betting that Ellen's photo will break the record.
UPDATE: According to Variety, Ellen's photo broke the Twitter record. Also, the Academy has issued an apology for crashing the service: "Sorry, our bad."
