November is a strange month for digital blunders, Facebook killed its CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other users and now we have Twitter, suspending its own CEO’s account by mistake. It was a short moment but caused a spur in the tech world.
The news was spotted by a former TechCrunch’er Drew Olanoff who noticed that @jack (CEO) was not accessible on Twitter.

Surprisingly, CEO’s account was locked for 2 to 3 hours. Jack clarified the situation by posting this tweet
just setting up my twttr…again (account suspension was an internal mistake)

What caused this panic, the reason is still unknown and Twitter has not clarified it yet.
