  The yobird account is under investigation for spam, and was thus hidden from public view. I have reinstated the public visibilty of the account:
  
  http://twitter.com/yobird
  
  however, it is still frozen during investigation. We research all accounts that show the characteristics of spam accounts. The accounts we pay special attention to are those which are highly blocked and/or written in about (a high number of blocks is usually synonymous with a high number of written spam complaints.)
  
  We investigate every spam complaint by hand and we're very serious about stopping Twitter spam on behalf of our community. If more people are blocking an account than following it, you are most likely a candidate for spam investigation. We're not trigger happy on all complaints; we do review them, and in some cases, work with people on developing better (spam free) practices for Twitter usage, but blatant spammers we do not tolerate.
  
  Thanks to everyone who submits the spam complaints, it does help us remain vigilant. You can submit a spam report/complaint here:

  using the drop down box to indicate spam. We're working on making a more efficient, spam-free Twitter for everyone.
  
  Thanks,
  Crystal
