This is my ex...@twitter

My love affair with Twitter is officially over. Even if it came groveling back on it's 140 character hands and knees, I'd be forced to shun it's superficial ovations to woo me back into it's faithless arms.

Why the distain, you ask? Well...

Once upon a time, I was known to many twitterites as @nathanpederson, which is conveniently my real name, as anyone reading this blog already knows. For reasons I still cannot explain I was altogether forgotten and forsaken by Twitter. I could not log in to my account.

"Okay," you say, "just request a password reset an check your email... all will soon be set right."

Wrong.

I never got that email. The reason? Suddenly the email that had always been associated with my account no longer was. Even though I still have evidence to the contrary; emails from Twitter to this email account. Did I mention that it's my primary email account?

Unbelievable? It gets better.

Twitter for Mac is a great app that I've long since settled into using over all the other choices out there. And it's a good thing, too. Because this is the only app that... get ready for it...

Is STILL linked to my @nathanpederson account. Meaning I can still post from that account, read @replies and direct messages, etc.

So what's the big deal? Big deal is this is my only and final connection to this account and the best proof I have that it was ever mine. The best... But not the only.

You see... When I check in with Foursquare, it posts to this @nathanpederson account... which in turn is linked to my facebook account; ironically, also dubbed Nathan Pederson.

So I have email proof, active links both to and from the account, but because I cannot identify an email account, whatever mystery email account they have on file, as being associated with @nathanpederson, and it's against Twitter policy to assist me.

They cannot and will not reveal the email associated with my account. But they happily send reset links to said email to said account if I request them.

So, if there are any relational therapists out there with minors in business law and computer science, please... Help me regain my identity.
