A quick twitter related rant. I've been locked out of my twitter account for the past few days. Twitter announced they'd reset by password for... reasons and that I should click this button to get a password reset link emailed to me.
Okay, no problems, except... it doesn't work. I've mashed that button so many times that even the automated system told me to stop but an email is not forthcoming. I've raised a ticket but have yet to recieve any response to that either. I want to get good an angry about this but... I'm torn.
On the one hand the world is being denied my witicisms (in 140 characters or less), and by world I mean whatever % of my 90 odd followers who happen to catch a glimpse of my post as it blurs past in the endless stream of brain farts that is twitter, but even so - MY brain farts are currently being denied a 140 character outlet.
And on the other hand, it's a free service. It's like bitching at someone for doing you a favour, but not doing it good enough for your liking. Obviously I know twitter aren't doing me any favours, this is their business model, but that's how it feels and I feel like a dick for being angry at them. Even so.... anyway, as I said, torn.
Should I be angry at twitter? Am I just being petty? If facebook locked you out of your account would you get angry?
