I love Twitter! I’ve been a member since 07 and have met great people and kept in contact with people I already know. It’s saved me several times and I’ve grown attached to the little bird. It’s become as much a part of my life as good ol’email has.

I was very disturbed however when I read about Twitter’s mess up today.

Apparently “No God” was a trending topic this morning.  Some Christian people were none too happy about this and strted retweeting a phrase “Know God Know Peace” to combat the “No God” tweet. Well, the athiests found it amusing to go ahead and make fun of this by tweeting “No God Know Peace.” This became so popular that Twitter couldn’t handle all of the tweeting that was going on (this is a major flaw that Twitter should work on, it happens often…can we say FAIL WHALE?)

Since Twitter couldn’t handle all of the tweeting and retweeting of these 2 trending topics a Twitter administrator decided to censor the “offensive topic” by combining the trending topics of “Know God” and “No God” into one topic labeled “Know God.”

So what does this mean anyway? If you were to search for the topic “Know God” you would find the tweets for “No God” as would be the case the other way around.

Part of me wonders if Twitter is secretly trying to censor us. Part of me wonders if the admin that did this was just THAT clueless. It will certainly be interesting to see if Twitter makes an official statement about this screw up.

If it is indeed Twitter being a censor then I will be finding another social network to spend my time on. I’ve liked Twitter so far because i can pretty much as whatever I damn well please. I can call people losers and give my quite frank opinion on everything. But I can’t say something about “No God?” That’s a “No Go” in my book!

Myself, i feel like all of those who worship a Goddess or both God and Goddess should tweet #knowthegoddess or #knowthegodandgoddess Let’s see what happens then!
