Does Twitter discriminate.
In the last few weeks I have had a number of issues with Twitter. I realize that a lot of it is my own fault, however when twitter suspended my account without warning and will not reply as to why it was suspended it tweeked my bull shit meter to full.
This is a slanderous response to put out on the web. Am I a terrorist, a spammer or just someone that managed to hit a sore spot with twitter or some of the media powers. I took a shot at the Trump Network as it is obvious that a lot of people are going to loose money with this scam. I also took issue with Sudden Link Communications for not fulfilling their implied promise of band width for the subscribers in the North West.
My real issues is not that they canceled my account. I only want to be treated like everyone else. In the last month I have done a lot of research on twitter and have not found one account that has not violated at least one of twitters rules. If one account is canceled for a violation then all should be canceled. If you agree or disagree please leave a comment on this blog.
It is not a question if Twitter Corporate discriminates but a question of who they discriminate against. This article establishes the pattern http://twitterdiscrimination.com/ . I know from personal experience that twitter will use their power for their or their venture partners benefit. I wrote two blog posts that criticized the Trump Network and Sudden Link communications. http://www.bcredneckmarket.com/?p=84 and http://www.bcredneckmarket.com/?p=94. My mistake was to post these links on twitter.
I was a bit aggressive in my marketing posting but no more so than such ones as the Chris Voss Show and several large corporate auto accounts. I got curious about twitters funding and did a little research. http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2008/11/17/story6.html?q=Twitter%20corporate%20funding This article points out a critical flaw in twitter. The business model does not have a clearly defined method of revenue generation. Advertising can be sold on twitter, this is a given but will the twitter users remain loyal if this happens.
Research indicates that unless Twitter get an influx of capital or finds a way to monetize their business, they will be bankrupt by June of 2010. This is my opinion and please take it as such. Do your own research.
My second biggest problem with twitter is that they will not answer questions about the suspension. I have sent this request several times and get the answer that no request has been submitted.
It is really hard to know what you did wrong if they will not respond. In order to correct incorrect behavior one must know what was done wrong.
If any one else is having these kinds of problems please post a comment. I am trying to decide if legal action is warranted.
