I'm Lost in Twitter Limbo

How many of you use Twitter? Let’s see a show of hands. Now put your hand down if you’ve had problems with Twitter, specifically logging in and your account access? How many hands are still up?

I’ve been a Twitter user since November and started having problems a few months ago. It started where I couldn’t log-in and I had to keep resetting my password. I’d click remember me and it never would. About a month ago I couldn’t log in at all and I contacted Twitter. I was told to log-in using my email address. When I did that I had to again reset my password but I was able to get on. For the past month I could only access my account through my email address.

Today I happened to notice that I only had 4 followers and I was only following 1 person. That shocked me since I had close to 1000 followers and I was following about 600 people. I then happened to notice the photo I’d added was gone and it was the generic icon or avatar that Twitter provides. That’s when I noticed my ID was different.

When I signed up I requested the name DeeLan but it wasn’t available so they set me up with DeeLan03. Today I noticed my ID was DeeLan. I viewed the updates I’ve made and there were only about 6 of them.

Was my account hacked? Is there a virus I don’t know about? How did my ID get changed? Where did they put me? Has someone’s been playing around with my account or is Twitter is playing games with me? I contacted Twitter about this but so far haven’t gotten any reply. I feel so violated.

I sometimes use twitter...but it is just rare, I really don't get it i guess, or how beneficial it could be for me. I guess maybe I need the twitter tutorial
