I found it a lot harder to find the content tweets and probably missed some good stuff - maybe another time variations could be used for the off-shoots?Mia Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076000499686655997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090914606822911489.post-82806074174756250562009-02-19T06:20:00.000-08:002009-02-19T06:20:00.000-08:00potentially a very good reason why we should all j...potentially a very good reason why we should all jump to OSS <- what's Identi.ca position on this stuff?

For some reason...I ran into an interesting problem. For some reason, at some point, my twitter account has been flagged as a possible spam, maybe, it's not really clear to me.<BR/><BR/>The result of this is that I don't show up in searches of twitter so all my comments were arbitrarily absent, and my happiness had no effect on the average.<BR/><BR/>It's an interesting issue, that I was disenfranchised by a disinterested service provider, with no obvious means to undo it without creating a new account.<BR/><BR/>I've had google pull my adwords service from a site, a few years back, also with no adequate explanation. Such brutal decisions are the only cost-effective way to police a free service, but if Google pulled my account I would lose much data (calendar, some google docs) and my G1 phone uses my google account. <BR/><BR/>I'd be dead in a week...Christopher Gutteridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445249498568162299noreply@blogger.com
