Why anyone would want to hack on Twitter and Facebook (other than cripple its capabilites to generate huge revenues from its services) is really beyond my understanding. Unless of course these hackers really want to get close with Britney Spears or aplusk Ashton Kutcher.
BBC News reports that:
The strike was aimed at a pro-Georgian blogger known as Cyxymu. The attack caused a blackout of Twitter for around two hours, while Facebook said its service had been "degraded".
Google said it had defended its sites and was now working with the other companies to investigate the attack.

[The] attack appears to be directed at an individual who has a presence on a number of sites, rather than the sites themselves," a Facebook spokesman told BBC News.
It has been reported earlier that a Hacker has been able to break through Twitter's security without even really hacking the site--just guessing a random Twitter employee's password.
Now you know why it's important to have a strong password.
