He's invisible, that's what's the matter with him.

I never thought that I would be so bent out of shape by a free web service failing me...but bent out of shape I am.

The run-down is this:  about five days ago, I decided it was time to change my Twitter user picture...and after much consternation (did my current photo delete?  what's going on?), I was left with...nothing.  An empty square, identified only by my full name.  On some page, it seems as if my photo has been updated, on others, and in any instance of my Twitter feed, I appear blank...an invisible man.


"An invisible man can rule the world. No one will see him come, no one will see him go."

It is honestly a miserable turn of events (compounded by the fact that hundreds...probably thousands...of other users are experiencing the same thing...and Twitter has been working to resolve this, it seems, for over a month now). 

I mean, this is my identity!  I hyperbolize a little bit...but from all the hype of "Twitter as a brand tool," woe be the brand that actually wants a picture.  How can I manage my "own global microbrand" if the services offered to me are...poor?

The kicker is my new user photo is totally lame, anyways.
