It is Blog Day and I am ashamed I had no idea until I saw a post on Roundpeg. On blog day, the thing is to showcase 5 new blogs that you like and to let them know that you gave them a shout. I’m going to just list the blogs sans description, so its a surprise when you get there. THE LIST: 1.

Woke up today and went to check out how the #dmtweetup was last night to find that my Twitter account had been deleted. Not cool, right? Apparently I have violated the Terms of Service? It appears I was not the only one… We’ve found that around seven accounts were accidentally suspended.

Let’s say you’ve got an online service with millions of users and the service can be used for customer service, and in fact is used for customer service by a growing number of companies.

Last week I wrote that two cases put the spotlight on sites' Terms of Service, and - whatever legal scholars say (I'll get to that in a minute) - this is a good thing. It's good because it sheds light on one part of the social Web that needs public awareness. Now a timely illustration.
