My inbox was full of frantic emails today from people on the Tweetmentor course who had suddenly found that their accounts were suspended.
The Twitter status blog says:
Earlier today, we accidentally suspended a number of accounts.
We regret the human error that led to these mistaken suspensions and we are working to restore the affected accounts—we expect this to be completed in the next several hours.
So hopefully things will be back to normal soon.
But interestingly, out of the emails I received, about 60% were from poeple frantic that they would lose all of their contacts, and have to start from scratch again, as they hadn’t backed up their followers.
