LOVE the teaming up with CNN + Facebook. - Mari Smith

Twitter suspending accounts in droves??? What gives - a bad bot day? Hm, odd. - Mari Smith

Yeah.. I'm taking a twitter break.. argh... was already liking how tidy friendfeed is.. now? FOR SURE. :) - Carissa

Glad I could help, Mari! - Jesse Stay

"Many thanks for including me on your list , Anita. Whew, so glad to see we’re back up and running in the Twitterverse. For sure a bizarre experience today – I had every confidence we’d be reinstated… just didn’t know how long. Four hours felt like four days!! lol." - Mari Smith

Mari - thank you for sharing this. Wondered what had happened! Hopefully, it gets fixed soon. - Joe High

"Whew, no kidding, Holly!! That was a twilight-zone moment - I totally panicked... then felt strangely relieved when I saw several of my dear friends with big followings were down too. Have you seen the update at status.twitter.com - it was apparently human error that caused the mass suspension of bona fide accounts!" - Mari Smith

"HOORAY!!!! I'm back up now - all intact, it would seem. Whew, that was scary. I'm seeing several other suspended accounts now live again so assume more will follow suit. I'd sure love to see an explanation on blog.twitter.com though!! Cheers! @marismith - feelin' good to be alive again in the Twitterverse" - Mari Smith

"WOOHOOO -- I'm back up and running int he land of the living tweeples. Whew, that was just a tad scary for a moment there. Just four hours of downtime can sure make a gal feel left out of the party. haha. Seriously, that was bizarre and created a ton of unnecessary confusion. I see Twitter updated their status.twitter.com blog and are stating the mistaken suspended accounts was human error! Hmm." - Mari Smith

"Thanks a mil for this update, Dewald. You rock, my friend. For sure a lot of panic-stricken and confused people in the Twitterverse. Facebook, FriendFeed, blogs and texts are blowing up with activity about the droves of accounts taken down. It's just so odd that there's no public news so far on Twitter's blog or main Twitter accounts." - Mari Smith

"Thanks a mil for covering this, Ben!! I appreciate the mention too. Definitely an extremely unusual situation even for Twitter - a few accounts, maybe... but droves of bona fide accounts taken down seems very odd. I look forward to hearing what's up at Twitter HQ and to a speedy recovery of all our accounts." - Mari Smith

One of the most profound reminders I've seen in a long time to stop and enjoy the finer moments in life. I defy you to read this/watch the video without shedding a tear!! :) - Mari Smith

"Thank you so much for your prompt action, Jesse - you are the best. Really very odd behavior from Twitter. I'm wondering if they tightened up their filters kinda like Facebook. lol! I'm optimistic all will be well as soon as poss." - Mari Smith
