Twitting Account Suspension And Why Very easy Work.

Hands and wrists up, everyone who has the Twitter Account!

Now, put your hand down again, if you have previously used Twitter to plug your line of work. (Behonest!)

Lastly, put your hand down if you have NOT read all the principles. (Again, be honest.)

Obviously this is a new hypothetical scenario but my personal guess is, if you were to place thesequestions to a lot of Twitter users, by the time you had finished there would be hardly any handsremaining. Unfortunately, according to the rules of Twitter, this would mean you had a room fullinvolving spammers.

Before we go deeper I should state that i did use Twitter until a few days ago when my bank accountwas suspended for spamming. I opened it to get greeted with this concept;

This account is currently suspended and is also being investigated due for you to strange activity. Ifwe have halted your account mistakenly, please let us learn. See Suspended Accounts to learn more.

Assuming this to become an easily fixable problem, I looked into the item further until I stumbled onthis message;

Your account was stopped social media for cross-posting duplicate twitter posts across multipleaccounts, a violation of our own terms of service and also the Twitter Rules that we all take veryseriously. Your account will remain suspended for no less than one week; you may petition intendedfor reinstatement on or after August 17, 2009.

An obvious and blatant spamming tactic on my part, you may think, but the simple the fact is; I onlyever acquired one account. As frustrating as this situation may be for us, personally, it is nothingwhen compared to the frustrations of Twitter, itself.

I have to acknowledge that, according to the guidelines of twitter (that we have now read), I was notwhiter than white when utilizing it. In my short time as a possible account holder I came to theconclusion that most users (the ones that I was interested with following, at least) were beingtweeting, either from or in relation to their work, personally posting links and pictures on the pagethat they assumed their followers would be interested in. I followed suit believing this to become agood use of twitter as generally speaking, our work is what people would be most keen on. IfStephen Fry, for example, were to talk regarding the weather or the beautiful cup of tea thisindividual was drinking (being extra careful in addition to the company who manufactured it) who'dbe interested? We want to know about his work because that is certainly what is interesting abouthim. As for the rest people mortals, because our jobs may not be as interesting to many as Mr.Fry�, we look for people inside a similar line of operate to ourselves to banter having and shareinformation. If we are never to discuss what we do, how are we to locate these people?

This could prove a challenging area for Twitter to be able to police. Once you have see the rules onspamming, in particular, you realize that, if all of them were for being upheld to the correspondence,they would have hardly any users left indeed.

There is talk connected with Twitter Business, a service that enables people to advertize what theydo without nervous about persecution. But will anyone employ this as a social system? More likely,people will only work with it if they are seeking a specific service. So, a search engine, then, whichonly allows this advertiser 140 characters to describe what they do as a way to sell their wares. Thiswill leave the advertiser with one real option; to put up links to somewhere else where he can go intomore detail about his goods and services. The links would, more than likely, be to a website... Whichhas to plead the question; Why not cut out the center man and just use search engines instead?

This is probably concluding most people (and quite a few spammers, for that matter) shouldinstagram come to once the hype dies down just a little so lets hope it's not the way Facebook plansto monetize itself or it'll probably have plenty of disappointed paying advertisers upon its hands.

So, if Twitter Business doesn� seem probably be viable in the long term, we are left using, plainold, Twitter; a social network where people are not allowed to advertise what they do for nervousabout being suspended.

It does go without saying that none of us enjoy receiving spam and that Twitter has to want to dosomething to prevent it, lest people will stop while using the service. But, if it is to be trusted by itscustomers, it cannot be suspending these for cross posting duplicate tweets across multiplecompany accounts without first checking the users are actually guilty on the infringement. If theycontinue to take action then the current suspension policy will ultimately achieve and the second ofits objective.

Though my Twitter account has now been reinstated, I now cannot escape the that trying to rebuildmy myspace or facebook would be, at best, humiliating and at most severe, just pointless, knowing,as I do, that Twitter could close it at any moment due to circumstances which can be neither myfault neither within my control (should they actually exist in the first place). And so it is therefore, Iwill probably definitely not use my account as much as used to and would certainly not have openedthe latest one had the authentic not been reinstated when i (and, I suspect, my erstwhile followers)would have seen this as a great admission of guilt.

Much more importantly for Twitter, however; if I were some sort of dyed-in-the-wool spammer, doyou think the suspension of one account would offend so badly as to deter me from starting newones? I would imagine which a real spammer would be back the day after his first suspension usinga virulent vengeance.

In short; the wrongfully convicted may well never return whilst the genuine spammers will simplygrow two new heads per one that is severed.
