I was about to Twitter just now and for some reason Twitter wouldn't let me login. I tried visiting my Twitter feed page at http://twitter.com/kweiner and Twitter responded with the message "That page doesn't exist!". Figuring that Twitter was just down, I tried a friend's page, and that page loaded just fine. In the "Following" section of my friend's page, I noticed that my picture was missing! Next I tried to reset my password, and when I entered my email address, Twitter responded with "Oh, snap! We couldn't find you!".
What is going on? Is my Twitter account really gone and my data lost forever? I know they have had problems scaling recently, but losing someone's account is way worse than having a temporary outage. I submitted a support ticket and also posted a message to Get Satisfaction. Let's see what happens... If this doesn't get resolved, I am just going to give up on Twitter which will probably make my wife happy.

I guess there's some hope for me.

I just had the same problem. I have created a ticket but haven't heard from them in days! It's crazy the problem still exists.
This just happened to me as well! And it is almost a year since it happened to you. So they never fixed the problem. They say it will take 5-7 days to get back to me! So annoying!
It is very interesting for me to read the blog. Thanks for it. I like such topics and everything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more soon.
This has just happened to me about an hour ago. can anyone direct me as to how I report it, get it fixed? Thanks
