twitter suspends legitimate accounts, many related to oreilly; weeping ensues.

Hello, fellow TechCrunch/blog readers.  This site supports the O’Reilly book I co-authored with Alistair Croll called “Complete Web Monitoring“.  Feel free to subscribe to it (we’re low volume).  We talk about things like this (how to launch a site and monitor it properly).  You can find information about us here.

suspended on twitter!I saw a tweet this morning in TweetDeck which I found bewildering. A friend of mine, Lori, claimed that my account was suspended.

I loaded up my profile page and, sure enough, the owl of doom stared back at me.

I jumped through the regular hoops, advising supended@twitter.com and resisting the urge to email folks like John Adams at Twitter (by the time I email them, I know they’ll have floods of notifications already).

I did a little bit of snooping and happened upon Tim Oreilly’s profile.  Also suspended.  Then @w2e, @brady and @palhlkadot.  All of them, suspended.

So, it seems that Twitter has decided to wage war on those of us related to O’Reilly Media! Oh noes!

In all seriousness, this appears to be an outage affecting quite a few accounts that are obviously legitimate.  I’m sure news about this will surface during the day.

Many of us have dealt with Twitter outages in the past – but it does give me a chance to reflect upon how bad it may look to others when they see the “Suspended” flag waving on my pile of sand.

Does it matter?  Thoughts?
