Twitter, I love you but what the hell?

// June 25th, 2009 // Technology

My twitter account has been suspended because of illegal use. I have no idea what the illegal use is and I can’t find out for possibly 30 Days. What?

You guys know that I’m an avid Twitter user. You know that I am very much against spam and really hate the auto DM wars that continue. I use Twitter daily for communication with my clients, friends, family and people with similar interests. I have grown dependent on it which I now know is not a smart move especially for businesses.

Twitter, I have a suggestion. Investigate the people you think are abusing the system and then contact them or give them a suggestion/warning regarding the usage. If that’s too hard then how about have a way for users to verify and update their account in the event it was an accident or a hacking.

Twitter, don’t make us wait 30 days! You have created a great tool that many of us do business with and communicate critically with! There has to be a way to weed out the legitimate users from the others…

I love Twitter but I have to believe there are some ways to improve this issue. We’ve come so far Twitter and to just let me fade away hurts.
