They haven't overreacted. If you think you can do better, then apply for a job with them. Have you tried your account from multiple IP blocks?
They have faced a crushing attack. They are working on it and they have worked hard to communicate with us the status of things. Anyone that was around in 2006/2007 knows that Twitter was excessively unstable then, and people didn't whine/complain as much. They've gotten better but they don't have the capacity to serve traffic and handle a DDoS attack at the same time. Your ticket will be dealt with and they are working to resolve overall issues before they address specific people. dave fisher/@tibbon webecologyproject.org On Aug 9, 10:30 am, chuckblakeman <cfblake...@gmail.com> wrote: > For what it's worth.
