@Tibbon is back in action. After about ~5 hours of things being really odd (ie. banned from Twitter) and 
much bitching and complaining my account is all set. In the end it seems that myself @pfanderson, @davedelaney, @conniecrosby and @pknit were deleted/banned. I’d really like to thank everyone for helping me out and trying to get the attention of the management at Twitter. As a very cool aftereffect of this, while I’m still following everyone (I see their updates), it shows that I’m following zero people. That’s the ultimate ratio! lol
I’d like to thanks everyone that noticed and helped complain (err, I mean use social media) to help:

- And probably a few more that I happened to miss!
I’m still curious as to what happened. The Status blog tells nothing. Companies should perhaps take this as a small lesson. If you’re twittering about watching a movie and having beer, and customer service complaints are racking up on twitter about your service… then things start to look bad. Your illusion of being ‘busy’ gets broken. I totally realize that all people and all companies deserve chill time, but just keep an eye on the customer service too.
this is one of he reasons that I wrote an open letter to twitter and even mailed them hard copies to that said they really really need to consider a community manager. seriously. http://www.buzznetworker.com/an-open-letter-to-twitter/
I’ll post about this on BuzzNetworker as well.
Great to see you’re back up on Twitter. I’m still suspended…
I’m blogging about it here: http://urlzen.com/p8
Thanks for the post. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, however, I wish nobody else was going through this.
Cheers,
Dave
like i said in my tweet, if you have no followers, then YOU must be the leader.

I would really appreciate it if you guys could help spread the word to @ev that @davedelaney misses his twitter friends. Thanks.

I’m still banned, also. Blogged it. Giving up and going to sleep. Hope it is better in the AM.
