In a recent flub, Twitter has unfortunately suspended hundreds to thousands of accounts with little or no reason whatsoever.
Twitter has come clean about the whole issue, stating on their blog, “Earlier today, we accidentally suspended a number of accounts. We regret the human error that led to these mistaken suspensions and we are working to restore the affected accounts—we expect this to be completed in the next several hours.”
So, if you find yourself amongst the suspended, be sure to enter a ticket as soon as you can. Chances are good that plenty of accounts were suspended, so you may as well help them find and correct their mistake.

So you want Will Smith (both of them) and Britney Spears to die?
Oboma too?
Opera?
Do you like anyone?
I'm pretty sure even Gordon has a twitter page, you want him to die too?

I love the work of both Mr. Smiths, I don't know of Oboma (is it a new State?), but Obama is cool, I really like the Opera web browser... and Gordon rules. I just hate what a lot of the internet has become. Case in point, Twitter.

he didnt say a good twitterER is a dead twitterER. He is talking about the site twitter, which i agree. I think twitter is a waste of time. There was a recent study that 50-60 percent of new people that sign up delete their account in two months. I just didnt see the need to tell people my life story in real time. And care less what other people do all day.
