Twitter Rarely Suspends Accounts - But Now We Know It Happens

Screendump from Twitter

If you have used Twitter for some time, you will probably already have met people who deal hatefully against you. You can report them, but Twitter rarely ever does anything about that. You can see that because the aggressor still has the account active even after you have received a receipt saying that Twitter acknowledges that the account broke their Terms of Service.

How to Use Twitter More Effectively

Sometimes people wonder how to use Twitter more effectively. Actually, there is no single answer to that question, but I feel it is time to tell at least how I use Twitter because this may inspire you too. My profile page can be seen here: https://twitter.com/henrikblunck

Contrasts on Twitter Between Obama and Trump

If you are an old-timer on Twitter, you no doubt remember the days when then-Senator Barack Obama ran for office. He was a pioneer on social media such as Twitter and Facebook. He won largely because he understood just how you could be positively engaged with your followers.

Twitter Marketing - Should I Follow Everyone Who Follows Me?

There are many new users of Twitter who almost feel as though they were obligated to follow back anyone that follows them. Their doubts are a good sense of the normal ethics that say that we should be equally interested in people who take an interest in us, but it can cause some confusion for Twitter users when they lose all understanding of this micro-blogging universe just because they thought they had to check every single tweet that came in their timelines.

Twitter Power - It Is An Effective Type of Social Media

Current US President, Barack Obama, has approx. 6.28 million followers on Twitter. When he wrote a tweet, I saw an interesting development. During the first minute, he got 178 retweets and 337 likes. During the first two minutes, numbers had grown to 696 retweets and 1,200 likes.

Obviously, not many of us have millions of followers, but the power of Twitter is still present. People enjoy Twitter, and for my own part, I was somewhat off Twitter whilst I was on Facebook. When I dumped Facebook, I quickly regained the pace of Twitter. Of course, not nearly spending as much time on Twitter as I did on Facebook, but certainly enjoying the ping-pong of quick debates with people across the globe.

In a matter of seconds you can update yourself on timelines based on media you follow, and can get acquainted with news even before it appears on your television.

If you ever doubted the power and benefits of Twitter, you should get on Twitter and check it out. It is a real goldmine of good information at your fingertips in real time.

Someone F*cked My Twitter Account

Pardon my french, but someone f*cked my Twitter account, Prime Tweeter, which was intended to keep people alert on what I wrote to commend fellow Twitter users.

It is no secret that the project has been sleeping for some time - but never actually abandoned. Yet, someone used my account to follow 500+ people whose only quality was that they were either pornographic, arabic profiles or just plain trash accounts meant to sell weight loss products or muscle enhancers...

I apologize for not having secured the account. What a loss if someone has unfollowed due to that - and, unfortunately, some have.

Restitution has been initiated. Firstly by unfollowing all the bogus accounts, and now a few articles will be released to make everyone more attentive as to how to protect passive accounts.

One element I did find was that the infringing party didn't write any tweets while holding the account. Very clever, because I follow this account from one of my other accounts. I tweet both in Danish and English, so it was only natural to cross-link so I could see if tweets began appearing on my English timeline.

Have a nice weekend, and hope you come back to Prime Tweeter
