Yes, I lost all my tweets from November to April.

Unlike the author of the article, though, I am not "furious", merely amused. Why would I expect a free service to do anything for me?

I don't understand u. Nothing is free in this world. Twitter's 1 billion $ valuation is because of its users.

Let me know when you can walk into a store and buy stuff with some pundit's "valuation".

Also, its users make it valuable. Losing a few users is not a big deal to them, and your data is more valuable to you than it is to them. Set your expectations accordingly.

The users aren't the customer in this business. They are the product.
