Each time i register to tweeter i got locked for no reasons. This 
happened yesterday again WHILE writing the first message. This is 
a problem when you don't own a smart-phone...

I think people should seriously stop using this service, they 
don't realize but there are probably a bunch of psychos at the 
top of hierarchy of this company.
These abusive lockings are a direct representation of their 
madness.
