Twitter Account Go Boom

My wife went into labor at 5am this morning. On the way to the hospital I shot a quick twitter sms from my phone letting people know. I got back a error message but did not think that much about it because of all the issues especially with SMS. So as I am sitting in the hospital room I am browsing the web on my phone I try to log into twitter and it tells me that my account has been deleted but I can restore it. So I try to restore it and it tells me that it is deleted because it was in violation of terms of service. I will tell you I sent 1 spam through twitter and used the API as it is exactly spelled out. I added and deleted some people playing with the api a few weeks back seeing how it worked but have not messed with it since. I have always been a huge advocate of twitter and we have raved about it on our show weekly. I also have implemented twitter on my blog as you can see in the top right corner. One thing about having a very popular site is people try to make a quick buck and target you. It looks like within minutes of the account being deleted someone made this account https://cdn.shoemoney.com/mp4s/1media and made it look like it was me. It is NOT me. I remember a similar thing happened to Seth Godin not to long ago. I have bigger fish to fry right now like my wife and our new baby who could be due at any minute but I just wanted to let people know. Hopefully twitter will return my support requests.
