Sorry to bother you. I know you guys are working diligently to make Twitter a more productive and active community and working through technical hurdles and scaling issues takes time and perseverance.
I wanted to just ask you a quick question, or, more importantly, encourage you to communicate with us a bit more proactively in regards to what and why, instead of leaving the guesswork, questions, and most likely incorrect answers to your loyal userbase.
My friends on Twitter are important to me as they are to everyone who passionately participates and defines the Twitter community. We lost followers, some of whom may have been spammers, but others are friends. I don’t have the time to go through and reconnect with those who vanished, but I will since they’re important to me. Just let me know if I should start that process or if you’re working on restoring my connections.
Thank you!
UPDATE: Good news, it looks like they’ll be back soon according to the Twitter Status Blog.
