Twitter Bans Tweetbomb

Anger the Twitter Gods and they will smite thee with furious anger. That's what @Tweetbomb found out today when its account was unexpectedly suspended by Twitter for "strange activity."

No one's sure why Twitter laid the smackdown on Tweetbomb, but they have re-emerged as @Tweetban, promising to provide information about the banning and the process toward reclaiming the account. Follow Tweetban for more info.

As I wrote yesterday, Tweetbomb is essentially harmless. Just a jovial surprise for the target. I hope Twitter reconsiders - perhaps they'll be touched by the holiday spirit. Time for carols!
