Only last week did Twitter post a message on their blog apologising for accidentaly suspending accounts and now it seems it’s happening all over again. I opened TweetDeck to see blank fields. After re-starting the app a couple of times I launched the Twitter.com webpage to see my horror, that I had been suspended. After sending a polite support message, and venting my frustration out on Facebook, [...]
