Nothing in Alexa 1M list that resolves to the Twitter AS seems to have
IPv6.

They do have 3 IPv6 prefixes visible in routing though:

I'd be very curious if these are just 'stakes in the ground' or if
these get some actual use. I haven't seen any recent IPv6 plans from
Twitter (quick search only found:
http://www.networkworld.com/article/2189085/lan-wan/many--name--sites-sitting-out-today-s-world-ipv6-launch.html
), and a quick asking around got me nothing.

I also didn't find any recent request to @twittereng to support #IPv6
that got any traction, so I just posted one (
https://twitter.com/meileaben/status/557854531401568258 ), maybe that
can bring it to their attention?

cheers,
Emile
