WTF: Ugh. Twitter #FAIL!

So, I took the plunge and signed up for a Twitter account (@momvschaos). A big shout out and thank you to those of you that found me via my 48-hour-tweeting-stint, by the way!

I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. I don’t have a personal Twitter account, which I realize now is a good thing…it’s addicting!

I even got “Paleo Celebrities” like Diane from Balanced Bites, Robb Wolf, and Whole9Life to reply to me! Talk about awesomeness! I also chatted a bit with my new favorite Quantified Self tool, Zeo. Well, I didn’t actually chat with my zeo headband or anything, but the human behind @zeo is very nice!

All was going swimmingly until I got a random tweet regarding the HCG diet. I replied, and didn’t click through the link because I already feel pretty well informed about the HCG diet. Whoops! Novice #fail! I replied which resulted in retweeting what was most likely a spammy tweet. Now my twitter account is suspended!

I guess I will chalk this up to a beginners learning curve and try to feel less like a complete dummy. I hope it doesn’t take forever to re-activate my Twitter account. Any suggestions? Have any of you made a mistake resulting in Twitter account suspension? What did you do? Help! My new favorite way of communicating with other adults is gone!
