Bad Bad Twitter

Since a few asked – I am moving from @duak to @kunaldua since Twitter refuses to index the former. What difference does it make? A lot!

  • I don’t appear in People Search. By itself, probably not a big deal and something I could have lived with. But not when you include the next 3.
  • If I “mention” anyone (@twitter_id) in one of my tweets, they’ll never see that tweet in their list of mentions unless they follow me.
  • Even if you are following me, unless I start my tweet with @yourtwitterid, you won’t see that tweet in your list of mentions.
  • My tweets don’t appear in any search results, so if I participate in any conferences/ events and use hash-tags and the likes, no one sees it!

So that’s it – there’s the reason for the switch. Probably Twitter thinks I am a spammer so they decided to block me and unfortunately there’s no way for me to get this addressed in any other way. See you @kunaldua.
