The Big Red Exclamation Point



So I log into Twitter and notice one of the accounts I usually browse for new tweets has been suspended for suspicious activity. I think this is weird, and then thirty seconds later, I return to my own Twitter "home" and notice my own account has been flagged, with a bold red exclamation point:
"ACCOUNT SUSPENDED: This account is currently suspended and is being investigated due to strange activity. If we have suspended your account mistakenly, please let us know. See Suspended Accounts for more information."

Well... shit.

I filed a query with the Twitter Department of WTF? -- given that 95% of the souls that follow me are similarly suspended for stunts like "Oh gawd, I just turned 18 today and my parents aren't home and I think I am going to get naked on my webcam, on this link here..." I am not too optimistic that this will be resolved in a timely manner, if at all.

WWMKD? (What would Mrs. Kutcher do?)

Update: Now, when viewing my blog, a pop-up box reads: "A username and password are being requested by http://twitter.com. The site says: 'Twitter API.'" Something's up. I removed the Twitter widget from the sidebar, but who knows what is causing these issues.
