A few weeks ago I went to social media purgatory when my blog was flagged as an attack site by Google. The problem, we finally learned, was a bad Wordpress plugin for embedding YouTube videos. What I didn't know was that Twitter takes it's cues from Google about which sites are legit (or not legit as the case may be.)
The link to my blog is the one I use in my Twitter profile. Since my blog was flagged by Google, Twitter suspended my account. Who knew? Google can shut down your Twitter account...or maybe it's more correct to say that Twitter will permit Google to tell them whether your account should be suspended.
I talked about the entire episode on a recent episode of The New Mediology and a bit in a short post after the blog got back online.
The bottom line is this: Google has more power than you think. Don't make them mad.
