Hi Mahesh,
How come it is possible to tweet 1000 times in a day (1440 minutes). And, why Twitter blocked your account for that?
Can you please clear me the above things?
I was insanely tweeting (mindcasting to be precise) during those days. Twitter blocked my account since they believe that no one can tweet over 1000 updates a day (in 1440 minutes) and if someone were able to do that then they believe that it is a spam or bot (twitterfeed).

Great Mahesh, unbelievable !
I don’t understand – Why Guinness World Records or our own Limca Book of Records have not noticed your talent. Do you have some kind of proof so that we can approach them?
Haha… No.. I don’t have any proof but I have just found this status on FB since you asked me http://www.facebook.com/maheshone/posts/151485109583

Great to know about your Twitter adventure in 2009.
I am really thrilled and happy that somebody from India did a thing which is beyond anyone’s thinking.
I’m also sad that nobody noticed this insanely-sane Twitter event.
My twitter friends did know that…

Hi Mahesh,
Is Twitter still following the same rule – 1000 Tweets in a day, and your A/c is blocked!
Is there any restriction in Facebook also?
Yes, they still have those limits. 1000 tweets, 250 DMs, and 2000 followings a day but I never crossed those limits ever since then.
