Twitter suffered an internal mistake that ended up suspending the account of its own CEO, Jack Dorsey this week. Funny as it is, this has forced Dorsey to set up his account again, and here’s a tweet that kinda suggests he isn’t too pleased about it.
Many users who tried accessing his profile during that time were greeted with the message, “Error, the account you are trying to view has been suspended”. Twitter has not given a reason for this goof-up, but somebody is going to be extremely embarrassed over this fiasco.
This isn’t the first such technical bug from Twitter. Earlier this month, PM Modi’s twitter followers dramatically reduced, which was later confirmed by Twitter as a technical glitch.

But Twitter isn’t the only network causing a social media mess. Recently, Facebook declared its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, dead. Millions of users, including Mark, woke up to a strange message on their timelines informing them of his demise and asking users to pay their condolences. Facebook later apologised for the “technical glitch”.

Safe to say that November hasn’t been the best month for these social media bigwigs.
