UPDATED – LATEST: Here is twitters official response<\/a>!
\nand Here is mashables take on the situation<\/a>!<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Twitter staff has confirmed it is a twitter related error<\/a> and it will restore shortly, so no worries!! Your account is fine! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I just noticed that a ton of people (including me @andysowards<\/a>) Have had their profiles avatar and background overwritten with default twitter avatars, and backgrounds, This looks like a messup from the twitter team updating the ‘default’ stuff with new options.<\/p>\n

\"2009-09-17_1939-twitter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyone that knows whats going on shed some light below in the comments and I will update this post as soon as we know whats going on!<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you have probably noticed the design tweaks twitter has been working<\/a> on, so its good that they are updating!<\/p>\n

Thanks everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
