That's some nice bragging! I remember it starting in 2007, and the killer app, back crucially when your twitters* would be texted to your phone, was that there were twitter feeds for each of the London Underground subway lines, and you could get near-real-time updates if any of them were delayed, to plan your journey. It sort of took off a bit, then hovered around forever, and I only really remember it coming back in 2009, with Ashton Kutcher / Stephen Fry, when the real killer app of "Do you want to know what your favourite celebrities really think?" appeared.
*as was the style back then...

So uh my account got mysteriously suspended about a week ago (and the last tweet was something I sent, so I don't think it's a hacking issue) and I've already tried appealing it a couple of times via email - anything else I can do?

It's just a childish unfunny politically incorrect joke (which he has for money), like on Top Gear.
