The recent Twitter media blitz... don't buy it.

Sure, Ashton Kutcher might have 1 million followers, but if you don't pre-authorize stuff like that with the Twitter admins, expect to get suspended (AKA banned).

Before the marketing tactics of Hollywood stars using the service gets you to start Twittering, keep this in mind: Twitter is very strict on spam and virtually has a zero-tolerance policy on it. If the admins see something suspicious, the account is automatically banned.

If you do decide to Twitter, big brother (the admins) will be watching what you do and how your follower stats rank up.

I find allowing Ashton Kutcher to turn up 1 million followers yet banning Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords for having too many followers very hard to believe. Do you really want to join a site who's banning practices are that irregular?
