Twitter account suspended – What the?

Today I woke up and like every other day I start browsing the net, looking for new posts on my favorite’s blogs, reading news and… checking email.

I suddenly saw an email from Twitter support, telling that my Twitter account has been suspended –God knows if temporally or for life- due to “strange activity”. Hmm,  this is pretty interesting.

Of course I quickly contacted support for more information regarding this “little misunderstanding”.

I haven’t got an official feedback yet but firsts impressions are that someone created multiple Twitter accounts, followed me and, after that, blocked me, turning my account into a possible spam one.

Some guys just act like this to kill competition as their lack of skills to face on the battlefield with better content, and that’s something I assume.

Can’t say I’m not worry though, because if that was the reason why my Twitter account has been suspended then killing a Twitter account can be easier than counting one, two, and three.

That’s a similar problem that some users were having with Digg, where a specific amount of complains –even those given without any proofs of spam or fraudulent behavior- leaded to permanent ban.

Just thought it would be interesting to follow this issue as it’s a matter that regards us all.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks for reading.
