Stop Twitter Spam

Bye-Bye Fail Whale, Hello Suspended Owl

October 17, 2008 @ 6:27 pm · Filed under Journal

About two months ago, Twitter started suspending accounts that have been flagged as spammers. In the past few days, Twitter has done a redesign of the profile page for a suspended account. As the Facetime Security Labs Blog points out, the new page is a big improvement over the old suspended account page, which still included a profile URL.

Introducing the Suspended Owl…

It remains to be seen if the Twitter Owl will be as beloved as the Fail Whale but the early reviews are very positive…

I finally gave into the Twitter hype, signed on for the first time, and mybrand new account was suspended, and I can't even get a good reason why.(tech support never responds to emails) Worse... I had just invited my entire contact list to join me there, most of whom didn't even have Twitter accounts, and now they get this Owl page instead...ouch. Nothing like being accused of criminal activity before doing anything. Twitter sucks, imho.
